Hello list-members,
I'm trying to diagnose why client certificate authentication starts to fail
after having run for some amount of time on a RHEL server running httpd
2.2.3-45.el5. When it fails, restarting the daemon can resolve it but I've been
told that sometimes it takes several restarts.
The SSL configuration is at the bottom of this email (disclaimer- I didn't
write the configs).
A couple things stand out to me as not the best way to do things. But I don't
think these are a factor for the client cert auth failure.
1) Turning on SSLInsecureRenegotiation seems like a poor choice.
2) The location directive where the client certificate is defined should
probably be within the vhost definition.
Additionally there is another SSL vhost defined on a different port as
<VirtualHost _default_:9882>.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Erik
