Hello, I am using:
Apache 1.3.23, mod_ssl 2.8.7, openssl 0.9.6c (Also perl and php) I tried to activate user authentication via personal certifacates from Thawte, exactly like described in the HowTo under: How can I authenticate only particular clients for a some URLs based on certificates but still allow arbitrary clients to access the remaining parts of the server? (first method!!!) This works with an experimental Apache 2.0.36 server except of the know http/https hang ups. The problem now is that with the Apache 1.3.23 I can not make it work correctly - the user certificate is accepted correctly without a message in the error log file (when I cange the httpd.passwd a bit I got errors that the user or the passwd is not found!). So I assume the basics are ok, but I got always an 403 error as result. Using a log devel of trace or debug don't let me see the problem. The only thing that wonders me a bit ist: Connection to child X closed with standard shutdown .... Anyone who can help me to find and solve the problem? I am using only one virtual name based host for ssl! Thanks Kai Hofmann -- Institut für Seeverkehrswirtschaft und Logistik http://www.isl.org/ Dipl.-Inform.
