I'm trying to configure SSL on two machines (on LAN) from a local CA I created and am hitting an issue when testing with s_client, I can't seem to locate helpful info w/ my google-fu skills. I'm trying to familiarize myself with info security and seemed like a good place to start. My scenario is
host1: ubuntu 12.04, tomcat7
host2: ubuntu 12.04, tomcat7
configured tomcat w/ ssl on both hosts, and can reach the tomcat homepage @ https://{host}:8443 from either machine. I configured the connector w/ my keystore & pass, I believe tomcat is happy w/ the params as earlier I had tomcat startup errors not being able to extract the private key but that is resolved. here's what I did
// create tomcat server keystore
1. sudo keytool -genkey -alias tomcat7 -keyalg rsa -keystore /etc/tomcat7/keystore/host1.jks
2. openssl genrsa -aes256 -out host1_key.pem 2048
3. openssl req -new -key host1_key.pem -out host1.csr
4. openssl x509 -req -days 3650 -in host1.csr -CA root_ca.cer -CAkey root_ca_key.pem - CAcreateserial -setalias host1 -addtrust serverAuth -addtrust clientAuth -extensions client -outform PEM -out host1.cer
// export to keystore
5. openssl pkcs12 -export -in host1.cer -inkey host1_key.pem -out host1.p12 -name "host1"
// import keystore
6. sudo keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore host1.p12 -destkeystore /etc/tomcat7/keystore/host1.jks -srcstoretype pkcs12
dest passwd:
src passwd:
Entry for alias host1 successfully imported
Import command completed: 1 entries successfully imported, 0 entries failed or cancelled
7. view keystore host1.jks
Enter keystore password:
Keystore type: JKS
Keystore provider: SUN
Your keystore contains 2 entries
tomcat7, Feb 18, 2013, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 2A:F1:5A:D1:5B:B1:24:5E:C7:96:3F:71:C8:17:09:E8
host1, Feb 18, 2013, PrivateKeyEntry,
Certificate fingerprint (MD5): 3F:81:FD:79:78:85:98:32:72:C4:42:8F:D6:2F:DD:09
8. Configure connector in tomcat w/ this keystore. restart tomcat. Boots w/out error.
Browse to https://host1:8443 from host2 and will get to "It Works!" page
The next step I did was test the connection from one machine to the other
host2: openssl s_client -connect host1:8443
CONNECTED(00000003)
140310470641312:error:14077438:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:tlsv1 alert internal error:s23_clnt.c:724:

In Wireshark I set my filter for all TLS protocol ("ssl.record.version == 0x0301") and I don't even see a request go out when I run the above command. I think that means openssl can't extract my certificate? I'm not sure where to look from here, if I change my keystore password to something invalid in my tomcat connector, i'll see errors in tomcat when it boots. Otherwise I should have seen the handshaking requests in wireshark.
I'll see the same if I try from my other host.
I've read about 'truststores' when trying to resolve my issue, would that be another keystore w/ the other server's .p12 imported and my local CA?
Thanks, any direction would be helpful.
