Hello, I posted this question already some days ago, but did not yet receive any hint. Does really no-one have any idea what could be the problem?
----------------------- I'm having a strange problem with Apache 2.0.45, mod_ssl with openssl 0.9.6i (and possibly a factor also tomcat 4.1.27 server, client IE6 with Java 1.4 plugin from Sun). The web-server should run all applications only over SSL and with client certificate verification enabled. So I set up all the necessary configuration, including server and client certificates (our company has it's own internal CA), and moved three different applications from the non-SSL to the SSL virtual-host. Everything works fine, the applications can access the "environment variables", where the user-ID coming from the certificate is stored, in order to authenticate the users and provide user-specific content. One of the working applications is PHP based, another one is JSP based, so via Tomcat. (only explaining this so that it is clear the whole server combination including the SSL setup seems to be right in principal). However the 4th application doesn't work. The fourth application is not JSP, but a Servlet/Applet combination. What happens when accessing the page is that the "index.html" downloads to the client, but then the applet should be retrieved by the browser (IE/Java plug-in), but the JAVA Plug-In just says "applet not found", and in the web-server error file (put in INFO) I see the following: [Tue Aug 05 18:56:52 2003] [info] Connection to child 4 established (server esdsv07.my.com:443, client 115.191.1.8) [Tue Aug 05 18:56:52 2003] [info] Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes of entropy [Tue Aug 05 18:56:52 2003] [info] SSL library error 1 in handshake (server esdsv07.my.com:443, client 115.191.1.8) [Tue Aug 05 18:56:52 2003] [info] SSL Library Error: 336105671 error:140890C7:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_CLIENT_CERTIFICATE:peer did not return a certificate No CAs known to server for verification?

If one of these or both problems were there, the other three applications would not work as well, right? But they do! Any ideas? If I switch on debug level, I get even more info (which does not tell me a lot more). First there is a verification/handshake on client certificate A (successful) and then there is something about a certificate B????? what is this about? What is certificate A and B?
