      Start an Undertow server with SslClientAuthMode.REQUIRED.

      Then use the following:

      openssl s_client -connect localhost:8080

      With Undertow, you'll get:

      140735837348744:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake failure:/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/libressl/libressl-22/libressl/ssl/s23_lib.c:124:

      Doing the same thing with Jetty, Tomcat or Netty shows:

      140735837348744:error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate:/BuildRoot/Library/Caches/com.apple.xbs/Sources/libressl/libressl-22/libressl/ssl/s3_pkt.c:1133:SSL alert number 42

      When setting up an Undertow server to require SSL client authentication with SslClientAuthMode.REQUIRED, and the SSL client does not have any, the server closes the connection during the SSL handshake without providing an SSL error.

      This means that for a Java-base client, we're getting an IO/Socket Exception instead of an expected SSLException.
