After I installed a certificate on my browser (tested on both IE and 
Firefox), I was able to access the site with client authentication.  I was 
expecting my browser to pop up a dialog and ask me for a certificate. 
However, it seems like the browser won't do so if I have no certificate 
installed on my browser.  Anyway, thanks for your help.

Re: [us...@httpd] Re-negotiation handshake failed






This message is normal. It says that server expected user certificate
but it wasn't presented by browser.
