            Bug ID: 70003
           Summary: Upcoming changes by CAs might break some Client
                    Certificate Authentication use-cases
           Product: Apache httpd-2
           Version: 2.4.66
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: mod_ssl
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: ---

Changes by CAs to stop issuing server certificates with the Client
Authentication EKU might break some Client Certificate use-cases.

Our proposal is to introduce a config directive that allows to selectively
disable the purpose check to allow for a grace period in cases where there is
not enough time to migrate to a proper client certificate PKI.

We have submit this proposal as pull request on GitHub:
https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/632. This would allow to continue with
strict certificate verification, but ignoring any issues that arise from the
missing EKU.

There is also a similar pull request, that could be helpful for deployments
that do not use strict certificate validation:
https://github.com/apache/httpd/pull/192.

Let me know if you need additional information.
