Re: Re: Want friendly error message for failed attempt to access a restricted directory

There's no code at all. HTTP connection is not even established. I don't think it can be easily solved. You have to ALLOW connections from clients without valid certificate in order to send them your custom message, and resulting reduction of security probably does not worth it.

I am running Apache 2.4.18 and have one site (https://usafa-1965.org)

emits when a user without a valid certificate attempts to access the
restricted directory?
...
I think I can do something like this:

  <Directory ~ ".*/restricted">
   SSLOptions +StrictRequire
   SSLVerifyClient require
   # do NOT allow dir listings
   Options -Indexes
   # error 403 is "Forbidden"
   ErrorDocument 403 "Sorry, you must have a valid client
certificate.\nContact your CS Rep to get one."
 </Directory>
That doesn't work, so maybe I have the wrong error code.  How can I
see what error code is actually being returned?
