Tomcat Smart Card (CAC card) problem

I am trying to get a smart card to work with Tomcat. The smart card in question is a DoD CAC (Common Access Card).

I believe that I have setup my Connector element correctly in my server.xml:

<Connector port="8443"
  enableLookups="true"
  disableUploadTimeout="true"
  debug="1"
  acceptCount="10" scheme="https" secure="true"
  clientAuth="true"
  sslProtocol="TLS"
   keystoreFile="<deleted>\.keystore"
/>

The issue seems to be with the IE /Tomat handshake. When IE hits my Tomcat site, it puts up a dialog with a title of "Choose a Digital Certificate". However the list of certificates to choose from is empty.

The certificates are loaded into my IE browser.  It seem to work with IIS. When I hit an IIS site, the same form comes up, but the form is pre-populated with the list of certifcates.

Why doesn't IE show the certificates when accessing Tomcat but does when accessing IIS?
