Has anyone else tried using Java SSL or anything using Java that will not require stunnel on the client side?

stunnel question and behaviour
by eni-urgence 25 Jun '10

Hello all. I want to use stunnel as ssl terminatation for https and pass httpd request to haproxy. I have compiled stunnel (source http://www.stunnel.org/download/stunnel/src/stunnel-4.32.tar.gz ) and apply this patch http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/patches/stunnel-4.32-xforwarded-for.diff. I have placed the binary in /usr/local/bin . I want to use the heartbeat capabilities and start stunnel only if VIP is on the node. In order to make that, the init script of stunnel must be LSB compatible like said http://www.linux-ha.org/LSBResourceAgent.

Hello I have browsed the archives but have not found the answer to this question... I have stunnel set up to handle https connections. It sits on a Debian server alongside HAProxy and works fine with every browser except for Internet Explorer. When I connect with Internet Explorer, I get a blank "Please choose a digital certificate" pop-up. How do we turn off the request for the client certificate in IE?
