Hi,
I am working with JSSE for SSL communications. I am facing some
problems in doing the mutual authentication with the server certificates
exported to the PFX format. 

I am doing a mutual authentication by intiialising the keystores with
the PFX file and the truststores with the DER file all in the PKCS12
type. 
But only one side authentication is happening. The client does not send
its public certificate to the server and hence getting a null
certificate received exception.

It would be greatly helpful if I could get some suggestions on this
fronts. First of all I want to confirm if the PKCS12 form supports
mutual authentication.

Expecting to get back on this issue.

Thanks,
Alak.
