The SSL Client Certificate verification in contrib/apache2-openxpki-site.conf 
from the openxpki-config repository is optional. It normally is ignored by your 
browser unless you have a TLS Client authentication certificate available in 
your browser (which seems to be the case for you). In this case, your browser 
offers you the choice to present the client cert to the server. You can decline 
to do so or use the certificate you already have, it should have no impact, 
since the OpenXPKI backend is by default not configured to check this.

To avoid the confusion, set SSLVerifyClient to "none" and you should be good.

The default configuration also exposes the frontend at /openxpki relative to 
the base URL, so please keep the document root at /var/www. 
You should call https://yourserver/openxpki to open the web interface. 

Hope this helps,

Martin
