Full_Name: R.Chu Version: mod_ssl-2.7.1-1.3.14 OS: Redhat Linux 7.0 Submission from: (NULL) (61.187.56.10) I have installed mod_ssl-2.7.1-1.3.14 with apache_1.3.14 and openssl-0.9.6a successfully. Now I want to get client authentication, I modified the httpd.conf as this: SSLVerifyClient require SSLVerifyDepth 1 SSLCACertificatePath /usr/apache-ssl/conf/ssl.crt SSLCACertificateFile /usr/apache-ssl/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt Of course, I have made a personal certificate(.p12) and put it into my Internet Explorer, the certificate of my own CA is also available. But when I test it, the connection interrupt after I choose the personal certificate from IE. This is my log file of apache: [root@grid96 logs]# more ssl_engine_log ......
