Hello All,
  I am trying to make a proxy server(apache 1.3.22
compiled after enabling SSL_EXPERIMENTAL) authenticate
itself to a backend server(apache 1.3.19) which is in
the same machine (although in a real scenario the
backend server will run on a different machine).
 
   Proxyserver listens at port 6666 on a machine and
the backend server listnes at 127.0.0.2:8443. All the
communications are SSL-enabled.
 browser ->---SSL + client auth--> Proxy server
--SSL-->backend server.
  Browser authenticates itself to the proxy server
whereas proxy server does not authenticate itself to
the backend server.
   
 Now, the need is to make the proxy server also
authenticate itself to the backend server. 
 The proxy server has  the directive
"SSLProxyMachineCertficateFile" in it's httpd.conf.
This directive has the value set to the its'(proxy's)
client certificate. 
 Should I need to set the value for  
SSLProxyCACertficateFile also?
 
The error I see in the browser is:
        ------------------
     The proxy server received an invalid response
from an upstream server.

The proxy server could not handle the request GET /.

Reason: SSL proxy connect failed (test:6666): peer
127.0.0.1:8443: key values mismatch
        -------------------


Can anyone please throw light on this ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Thanks and Regards,
Anbu
