Title: Client certificate

Hi ,
I am trying to implement client authentication based on client certificates.

I want to throw up an error message to the "user/browser" in case client certificate is invalid.

What I got was that "The page cannot be displayed" error if an invalid(expired one) client certificate is sent and I see the following in the logs.

==========================================================
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:53 2006] [info] [client 14.64.53.89] client stopped connection before rflush completed
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [error] mod_ssl: Certificate Verification: Error (10): certificate has expired
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [error] mod_ssl: Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!?
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [error] mod_ssl: Certificate Verification: Error (10): certificate has expired
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [error] mod_ssl: SSL error on writing data (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [error] OpenSSL: error:140890B2:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:no certif
icate returned
[Tue Nov 14 16:52:57 2006] [info] [client 14.64.53.89] client stopped connection before rflush completed
============================================================================

Ideally , I would like to be able to find that the client certificate has expired using the "SSL_Client….." variables and be able to give user some error message.

Is it possible?

Thanks,
Vishal
