I found this in my old notes - it may help you?
Q) Netscape keeps asking me which certificate to use for every single page on a site - why? A) The Netscape security settings are incorrect. To fix this problem: . Click on the padlock at the bottom left of the window to display 'Security Info' . Click on 'Navigator' to display the Navigator security settings . Under 'Certificate to identify you to a web site:' choose 'Select Automatically' . Click on the 'Ok' button to save this change. Note that Apache is doing what you have asked it to do, in that all items under location /work require a client cert. There are SSL settings called keepalive which were ment to help speed up the SSL connection, but MS IE does not work properly with them, so you cannot turn them on unless you only have Netscape clients.

This means that the browser - NETSCAPE 6.2.1 - display continuously the CLIENT CERTIFICATE REQUEST windows! This is the httpd config: ------------------------- SSLVerifyClient none SSLCACertificateFile /...correct_path_here.../cacert.pem <Location /work > SSLVerifyClient require SSLVerifyDepth 1 </Location> ....and i have 3 HTML pages in /work dir, each containing a LINK to the others (to test the system) AM I MISSING SOMETHING REALLY ...obvious...?
