I use iDAR 2.1 on Solaris 2.6. I use SSL/TLS between clients and iDAR but "pure" LDAP 
between iDAR and its LDAP server(s).

I dont want client authentication and therefore dont want iDAR to send a 
"CertificateRequest" at all. As I have seen iDAR handles client
authentication correctly by setting the attribute . So far so good.

But I cannot prevent iDAR from sending a "CertificateRequest" at all. Setting the 
attribute "ids-proxy-con-ssl-cert-required" to false does not help.
This is correct behaviour but ...

This leads to the following problem: (Some) SSL clients (PureTLS, jsse1.0.2) do not 
handle a "CertificateRequest" correctly if they have no
appropriate client certificate available. Instead of "sending a certificate message 
containing no certificate" to the server they just cancel the
connection (and send a fatal alert to the server (handshake failure!).

Is there no way *not* to send a "CertificateRequest" at all? This would make my 
clients happy.
As I said I use SSL/TLS on the client but not on the server side.

Regards,

Werner
