[stunnel-users] Stunnel & Java SSL

[richard at oversight.co.nz]

I'm developing a website where a java applet is downloaded over an https
session provided by Stunnel (stunnel 4.04 on i586-pc-linux-gnu PTHREAD
with OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001) running on port 1080.
The applet codebase in the html code is set to https://x.x.x.x:1080/xxxx.jar

To complicate this issue, Stunnel is set to verify=3 i.e. it requires a
valid client certificate.
It seems that the java implementation of SSL (JVM  1.4.1_03) won't respond
to prompts for client certificates??
Stunnel simply times out with the following error....

Does anyone know a way around this?

Thank you,
