Your server needs a certificate that has been signed by the same authority
as that which signed your client certs.
i.e. when authenticating a client the server sends a cert request, part of
that request are the CA's certs that the server will accept.
If that isn't very clear I'll elaborate.

Subject: Using certificates for client authentication
Hi!
I am really new with the use of OpenSSL, so sorry if
this is an obvious question.
I have generated certificates using openssl, and I
could install them without any problem in NS and in
MSIE, but when I try to use them for client
authentication they just won`t be shown in the
listbox. Could someone tell me what I have to do, so
that they would be accepted for client authentication?
Thanks a lot!
Mariana
