For a client i need an ssl connection ; i got the certificate and implemented it.

Normal ssl connections works fine, but connections with Oracle Jinitiator gives problems: SSL handshake failed error.:

Opening https://[url]/forms60java/f60all_jinit.jar no proxyjavax.net.ssl.SSLException: SSL handshake failed:

I looked at Metalink, and got a note - 147836.1, How to make Jinitiator work with Apache with SSL (HTTPS). But the solution in that note - modifications in the certdb.txt in in Program Files\oracle\Jinitiator 1.1.8.x\lib\security on the client does not work.

Anyone a clue? Thanks.
