Hi,

 This brings up some questions to me:
 
 Why aren't there two options like SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile,
 SSLProxyMachineKeyFile for separated certificate and key files?
 
 Is there a way to provide several certificate/key pairs?

Yes, you can either put several key pairs in the file referenced by
SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile, or you can use a directory of files
(each containing a key pair) with SSLProxyMachineCertificatePath; all
files in the specified directory are loaded.

If you have configured the origin server to send a list of CA names in
the client certificate request, mod_ssl will then try to pick an
appropriate client cert which was issued by one of the CA names it
receives. (there are some useful debugging messages at SSLLogLevel
debug)

 The Apache documentation (www.apache.org) describes SSLProxy* as part of
 mod_ssl. Why isn't there any information about SSLProxy* on www.modssl.org?
 (Probably Ralf Engelschall can explain this.)
 
 Is this Apache 2.0 feature available in Apache 1.3 too?

Yep, these directives work in mod_ssl/2.8 for Apache 1.3, though were
never documented.

 I think the current documentation of SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile is at
 least misleading.

Yes, it's been cut'n'pasted badly; you could report a documentation bug
on that at http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/

joe

Because nobody wrote it :(  I was the one who wrote it for Apache 2, based
on some stuff we had for Covalent SSL

 Is this Apache 2.0 feature available in Apache 1.3 too?

I think so, you need to compile with SSL_EXPERIMENTAL flag. But I do not
think it worked very well Doug MacEachern rewrote a big part of it to work
more cleanly in Apache 2.0

 I think the current documentation of SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile is at
 least misleading.

Please correct and submit a patch to [EMAIL PROTECTED] :)

Cheers

AFAICT the handling of client certs was not functionally changed at all
in 2.0, though yes, it has been massively cleaned up (using sensible
variable names rather than random collections of letters and all that
lovely stuff ;).
