RE: [users@httpd] SSLVerifyClient require in Virtual Host

Hi Tony,

if you want run SSL my understanding is
that your server need a certificate and
a key file too or do you have it at another place ?
Like:
 SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/conf/ssl.crt/subversion2.phoenixphire.org.crt
 SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/conf/ssl.key/subversion2.phoenixphire.org.key
Than it would be better not to put your key and
crtificate files in the document root. Make this too:
 SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt
"LogLevel debug" can help you later that you see what is going wrong
during the connection phase between your client and your server

Betreff: [users@httpd] SSLVerifyClient require in Virtual Host

Hi,

I am running Apache 2.0.55 on a Linux From Scratch box.

I am trying to get an entire virtual host to get an entire virtual host to use client certificates to authenticate, however I can only get it to work on <Location /> directive (I havent tried <Directory>) which forces a renogiate.

This is fine for things like Firefox which can handle the renogiation, however I plan on turning this virtual host into a subversion repository and havent been able to get renogiation to work with the svn client or javasvn (but that is a whole other problem).

The subversion2.phoenixphire.org-ssl.log verifies that a client certificate isnt being sent with my configuration. After running some tests with SSLVerifyClient require in a <Location /> directive I can verify that firefox does send a client certificat after a renogiation.

Is this a bug? The Apache 2.0 documentation says that this is valid and should work (The howto on the apache site for this also says this should work).

Cheers,

Phoenix

My virtual host config is as follows:

<VirtualHost *:443>
        ServerName subversion2.phoenixphire.org
        DocumentRoot /srv/www/subversion2.phoenixphire.org

        ErrorLog /var/log/apache/subversion2.phoenixphire.org-error.log
        CustomLog /var/log/apache/subversion2.phoenixphire.org-access.log common
        CustomLog /var/log/apache/subversion2.phoenixphire.org-ssl.log "%t %{SSL_CLIENT_I_DN_CN}x %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN}x"

        SSLCACertificateFile /srv/www/ca.crt
        SSLVerifyClient require
        SSLVerifyDepth 1

        SSLOptions +StrictRequire

</VirtualHost>
