[ssl-users] Netscape certificates problem

[Josu� Jos� Souza J�nior]

    Hello,

    I'm new on this list and I'm having a problem creating certificates
for Netscape Navigator Clients. I have created an experimental CA here
in the company where I work, following Frederick J. Hirsch's abstract
"Introducing SSL and Certificates using SSLeay".
    I have created the CA certificate and key and a site certificate for
our secure site (we use Apache-SSL). I have also made a perl script to
automatically sign site certificates with keys and csr's sent to us by
clients, using a html page with forms.
    But, when I tried to use Hirsch's perl script to create Netscape
Client Certificates, I found this problem:
    The Certificate is created but when I try to verify it, I receive a
message saying that the certificate was not certified for Electronic
Mail and that it could not be verified with success.
    Does anybody knows what's going on and how to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance,
