           Summary: Httpd randomly breaks when verifying client certificates
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_ssl
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


Httpd is configured to accept client certificates, which have been signed by my
internal certificate chain:

SSLCACertificateFile  /etc/pki/internal_certificates/caCertificateList.pem
SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLVerifyDepth  3

caCertificateList contains the chain of certificates for the client
certificates, with a self-signed root certificate.

This setup works fine in the general case; there is no problem verifying
certificates. This suggests that it is not a problem with configuration. The
problem occurs after the server has been in use for a few days, having served
some tens of thousands of requests - certificate verification suddenly starts
failing with:

Certificate Verification: Error (2): unable to get issuer certificate

This begins happening for all client certificates, including those that were
previously accepted. Nothing further useful is logged, even with SSL debug. I
cannot find a trigger for it; it doesn't seem to be after a particular time
form startup or anything like that.

Reloading httpd fixes the problem, for another few days.
