httpd.conf has:
------------------------
SSLEnable
SSLRequireSSL

SSLCACertificateFile    /usr/local/apache/etc/ssl.crt/ca-cert.crt
SSLVerifyClient         require
SSLVerifyDepth          2
------------------------
and Apache will verify client certs and allow access. ca-cert.crt has 
ONLY one issuer's certificate. (Only that issuer is to be trusted.)

If I reduce the SSLVerifyDepth to 1 or 0, make no other changes, and
restart Apache, access fails with "Server could not verify your 
certificate."

My understanding is that if I have the signing cert of the CA I wish
to trust, I can use a depth of 0 (meaning that clients' certificates
must be signed by the trusted CA directly). Am I confused?
