JBoss SSL vs. iPhone
Summary up front: the iPhone doesn't like SSL Certificate / keypairs in whatever the default keytool format is, at least as of iPhone OS 3.1.2 and Java 1.6.14.
If you create your key pair using:
keytool -genkey -alias myKeys -keyalg RSA
it works. If you do everything the exact same way, without specifying "-keyalg RSA" you'll end up with the dreaded "Safari could not establish a secure connection to the server" that I've been fighting with for the past two or three days.
So - the keywords that might help someone find this solution are:
Java keytool jboss ssl iPhone mobile safari self-signed certificates
If I get requests I can add details about how I created the certs, got JBoss to use them, etc. etc. etc. but I think that's all pretty well covered out on the Internet... This particular problem wasn't, mostly because I think everyone but me DOES use '-keyalg RSA'. But it was working with every other {#*(@$&#*$} browser without that, so I didn't think it was required. I was wrong. G'night!
