How about putting the intermediate CA-certificate in the file
ca.chain and let the directive SSLCertificateChainFile point
to it? SSLCACertificateFile is IMHO only for accepted CAs
for client authentication (so no wonder the server does not
accept the connection request, your browser does not have
an according client certificate).

Unfortunately it is not working. IE still cannot display the page and Mozilla causes the following entry in error_log: [Mon Jun 13 16:42:57 2005] [error] OpenSSL: error:14094412:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate [Hint: Subject CN in certificate not server name or identical to CA!?]

But CN is identical to server name and openssl verifies correctly the server certificate. If both root and intermediate CA certificates are imported in Mozilla the page is opened without problems. However the same thing does not work in IE - the page cannot be displayed. I am realy confused.

I hope it works as described above. Cheers,
