Hi, I am recently set-up an environment for testing client certificate based authentication on an apache webserver. The test environment is a recent Ubuntu 8.10 distro with tinyca2 0.7.5 and apache 2.2.9. I have setup a test root CA, two certificates signed by this CA: One for the webserver and one for the user. Everything done by tinyca2. First I configured apache to allow only ssl-connections (no client certificates yet): Everything worked so far: /var/www is only accessible via https. Now I added a new subdirectory /var/www/secret with a dummy index.html which should only be accessible by users which provide a certificate. So I added this to my sites-enabled/foo.conf: ... SSLVerifyClient none ... SSLVerifyClient require SSLVerifyDepth 2 SSLRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)/ \ and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN} eq "My name in CN of certificate" ) What I expected was: outside of /var/www/secret (i.e. in /var/www or /var/www/public) documents are accessible by everyone, only inside of /var/www/secret a user needs to provide his certificate. What I got was: apache asks for the users certificate no matter which document is reqested (i.e. inside AND outside of /var/www/secret). I used http://www.garex.net/apache/ as How-to. Any hints? Thanks in advance!
