I'm working on a web service client which need to communicate with a server who has mutual authentication enabled.
I've done the following steps.
- Added the server certificate(self signed) to a trust store and set it to the
HttpsURLConnectionusing theSSLSocketFactory. - Gave the client certificate(CA signed) to the server admin to add it to their trusted store.
- Created a keystore by importing the client certificate and created a keymanager to `HttpsURLConnection'.
When I try to run this sample I'm getting an exception saying
org.springframework.ws.soap.axiom.AxiomSoapMessageException: Could not write message to OutputStream: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed; nested exception is javax.xml.stream.XMLStreamException: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

Thank you
Does the client keystore contain a private key entry? Not clear from your description. It is also not clear where the unknown_ca comes from: it doesn't show up in your stack trace. It would be best to run the client with -Djavax.net.debug=ssl,handshake and post the results.

I think the problem was with the client certificate used by me. It has the following extension values set
Certificate Key Usage
Critical
Signing
Non-repudiation
Key Encipherment
Data Encipherment
Extended Key Usage
Not Critical
TLS Web Server Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.1)
TLS Web Client Authentication (1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2)
Once I created a self signed certificate without any extensions and used it as my client certificate, it worked fine.
You need to put the public key of the CA that certified the user (or the public key of the user themselves if it is a self-certified key that they're using) into the server's keystore. Otherwise the server simply doesn't know whether the user's certificate is for real or is being presented by someone impersonating them. Having the certificate in there ahead of time allows the server to understand the identity and trust it (which the SSL protocol requires as part of preventing trivial man-in-the-middle attacks).
