Package: ca-certificates
Version: 20080809
Severity: wishlist


Currently ca-certificates generates a list of all certificates at
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt that includes all certificates.
It would be useful if a similar list is generated that only includes
issuers of client certificates, e.g.
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-client-certificates.crt.

When I want to create a website where people authenticate using any
trusted client certificates (with e.g. Apache + mod_ssl/mod_gnutls) then
at the moment I need to either load all the certificates in
ca-certificates or specify the certificates manually. The
ca-certificates.crt list contains many CA's that do not issue client
certificates to people but only certain server certificates. Loading
these in Apache means extra overhead.

I do not want to disable these certificates using
/etc/ca-certificates.conf because there are also client applications
(such as browsers) that do need these certificates. They are only not
needed for my server applications.

There's not really a source for what "trusted client certificates" would
mean, and that tends to depend very much trusted "by whom" and "for what
purpose"; ca-certificates gathers CAs trusted to issue server
authentication certificates for the Web PKI, leaning heavily on the
vetting done by Mozilla and its community for its trust store, and I
believe the above request is out of scope.  Sorry.

Julien
