The client must be able to verify that the SSL certificate is valid, so
you need to specify the directory containing valid SSL CA roots:
ssl_client_ca_dir = /etc/ssl/certs # Debian/Ubuntu
ssl_client_ca_file = /etc/pki/tls/cert.pem # RedHat
(end quote)
Suggesting that on Redhat you should specify "the directory containing
valid SSL CA roots" by setting ssl_client_ca_file sounds kinda crazy.
Sounds like setting a file instead. So that bit of documentation should
be treated as rather suspect.

In some environments, root certs are stored in a hashed directory, in
other environments they're stored in one file. One would typically use
one setting or the other.
I think ssl_client_ca_file was implemented later than ssl_client_ca_dir.
The comment just needs to be updated.
