We are trying to use HTTPS client certificate based authentication to access a Java Applet in Firefox v21.0. We have followed the instructions as per the below two urls to enable JSS 4 -

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JSS/Using_JSS
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/deployment-guide/keystores.html
http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/deployment/deployment-guide/keystores.html

We are using JRE version 1.7.0_25-b16 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM in Firefox v21 but we are getting -
security: Accessing keys and certificate in Mozilla user profile: null
security: JSS is not configured

followed by SSK handshake failure when trying to load the client certificate.

The client cert based authentication is working when using IE v8 and IE v9 with the same JRE version (JRE version 1.7.0_25-b16 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM)

Any help to resolve this issue will be very much appreciated.

Hi,

Did you add your client certificate(.pfx) into Firefox Certificate Store/Manager? Google Chrome and IE use the same Certificate Store. Firefox use it's own. File ->Options->Advanced->View Certificates.

Thank you for your response. Yes we have added the client certificate file (.pfx) in the Firefox browser Certificate manager / Store. It's also showing the certificate in the View Certificate window. We could not resolve it yet.
