Hai all

I have installed apache with  modssl on a FreeBSD box. I also made
several CA's, server-cert an client-certs. Nice.

At the along run, I want  to use client authorization for a (big) part
of my server; now I'm doing some test.
Functionally it is working, I can only "login" when I have a cert. And
I'm able to "read out" the cert (with SSLOptions +StdEnvVars)

But, ...

For (almost) all pages I want to browse, Netscape does ask whiter it
should send the cert...
When I say "OK" it works. But this no way to work...

When I compare this to "normal, password based authorization"; this is
different and irritating.
With passwords I have to "log in" once; afterwards the browser will
send this information automatically.
That is what I expected for client authorization, too.

Does anybody have the same/other situation? 
I'm not sure whetter my assumption (about "sending" the cert once, in
the USERS-view) is wrong. Or is my config wrong. Or is it an option?
Or ....

Any help is appreciated.

I can read them now, but I still don't like it.
