Hi, 


I have an Apache webserver running with ssl enabled. I configured it to use: 
“SSLVerifyClient required “ option, so my customers can reach me only if 
they have the pfx file that I generate using openssl command. 

The whole process completes when I send the pfx file to my customer and he 
installs it on his computer, in that way he gains access to my webserver. 
But I see one problem with this: If my client send the pfx file to another 
guy I will be in trouble because I cannot  control what they will do with 
the pfx files. 

I think the fix for that is something like creating certificates to my 
customers with expire time or by using some SSL mechanism to control the use 
of a PFX file by client, in a way that if the certificate is used for the 
first time in a machine, it cannot be used on a second one. (I really don’t 
have any experience with SSL, so that is why i´m talking about these ugly 
examples) 

My concert is just about on how to control my clients using SSL. I expect 
you understand my doubt and if you appoint me any website or any ideas of 
what can I use to implement this I will really appreciate that. 

Thanks 


Fabiano
