Hi all.

    I have a problem with certificate chains in apache_1.3.19 with mod_ssl

    I have configure httpd.conf as follow:

**********************************************************
httpd.conf:
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert/server_certificate.pem
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/cert/server_key.pem
SSLCACertificatePath /path/to/cert
SSLCertificateChainFile /path/to/cert/cas_certificates.p7c (PEM format)
SSLCACertificateFile /path/to/cert/subCA_certificate.pem
SSLVerifyClient optional

SSLVerifyDepth 3
***********************************************************

    cas_certificates.p7c is a certificate chain contains two CAs, subCA 
at index 0 and rootCA at index 1
    server_certificate.pem is signed by subCA
    subCA_certificate.pem contains the subCA certificate
    SSLCACertificatePath contains the cert directory with all 
certificates (I think it is optional)

    I can access througth a netscape browser because VerifyClient is 
optional.
    I want to access througth a Java servlet which want to retrieve the 
client certificate.
    When I try this I get the following exception:

 in /path/to/apache/logs/error.log:

    I think it's a problem of Apache ssl configuration but I'm not sure.

    Any idea?

    Thanks a lot, Gabi.
