Arnaud, If the given file is already installed browsers won't display any error/warning messages. Messages are only displayed if the browser hasn't installed your certificate. This problem is unlikely to occur if you get a certificate from a well-known issuing authority (Verisign, Thawte, etc), and more likely than not to occur if you use a self-signed certificate.
If your 'audience' are limitted, you could either send them a 'client certificate', or reassure them that when they see the message for the first time that nothing is wrong and they should agree to continue into your secure site. As to initial question (can the server determine if the root ca is installed on the browser), I doubt it. Hope that helps :) Shiraz -----Original Message----- From: Arnaud De Timmerman [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 3:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: test installed certificates hi, i don't know if this list is the best for my question, my deepest apologies if not is there a way to know thanks to apache and/or modssl if a given root ca is installed on the client side (browser) ? what i want to avoid is a page like : ******************************* click here to install our root CA ___________________ ******************************* if the given file is already installed thanks all ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
