I've setup a https site with Apache 2.0.52, mod_ssl 2.0.52 and OpenSSL 0.9.7a (Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 4)). A special directory should be optional authenticated via client certificate. This works with Firefox, Netscape, IE6 but not with IE7 (Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista). When trying to access the page with IE7 the browser let me choose the client certificate but then shows the error message "The browser can not connect to the site.". In the log files of the server there's only 1 new line: [error] Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!? Here's the httpd.conf part for SSL: SSLEngine on SSLProtocol +SSLv3 SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM:SSLv3 SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/mydomain.key SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/mydomain.ca-bundle SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0 <Directory "/var/www/public/htdocs/protected"> SSLVerifyClient optional SSLVerifyDepth 5 SSLCACertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/protected/ssl.crt SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData </Directory> Any suggestions? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/SSLVerifyClient-with-IE7-tp15827486p15827486.html Sent from the Apache HTTP Server - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
