Hi

thanks for all the comments and suggestions, especially the ones I could 
understand

centos 7
yum upgrade

openssl version gives:

OpenSSL 1.0.2k-fips  26 Jan 2017


it looks like 

echo 'LegacySigningMDs md5' >> /etc/pki/tls/legacy-settings

allows the reading of Md5 Client certificates (which are still being installed 
in "not released yet" phones)

That is a week of my life I wont get back

thanks again

Stuart
