I don´t know much about modssl, but
If you set SSLVerifyClient to 1 you are telling the server
to authenticate its clients (criptographically verify the
client´s identity).

An entitity (let´s say somebody connecting to your server)
needs a certificate in order to be athenticated, but hardly any
web user has his own certificate (You have to buy it or
make your own certification authority and make the
server trust it). And that´s is your error message: your
browser does not have a certificate.

Just don´t set SSLVerifyClient to 1, if you want usual people
(99% of web users) to be able to get into your web.
