Hello,

maybe you remember my postings about the SSL-Problems with a sequence
of redirection scripts on an SSL-Server.
(we now use apache-1.3.12,mod_ssl-2.6.2 and openssl-0.9.5 on Linux)

By updating the server we succeeded to get rid of the errors with the
Netscape Browsers, but now, a new problem appears with the IE5 on NT
and Win98:

[31/Mar/2000 11:09:29 26799] [info]  Seeding PRNG with 0 bytes of entropy

just one of those OpenSSL confusions!?]

Again the client is asked for a certificate and subsequently an error
occurs. 

        SSLVerifyClient none 
        SSLOptions -FakeBasicAuthentication

should stop the server to ask for certificates but doesn't in all
cases (at least for IE5).

Questions:
-> Is that connected to the Problem already discussed with the step-up 
certificates (error message is identical) which could be solved by
prohibiting the 56-Bit-Key as I understand?
-> As suggested in the mailing-list in another context  
        SSLProtocol SSLv2 
   solves the problem. But don't I loose features or security
   "downgrading" like that?
-> Is that a bug ? And if yes: In mod_ssl or in openssl?

Maybe you have some answers. 

Thanks 
Olaf
