I want to make a page that will authenticate only with PKCS11 tokens.
These tokens contain only certificates from a recognized authority.
OCSP would be usefull if the token has been declared lost or stolen.
But I don't want to make things too complicated.

Subject: Re: [users@httpd] SSL - How client certificates are verified?

Hello, what is your scenario? If you issue (sign) client certificates
yourself, Apache can correctly verify it against local CRL (certificate
revocation list) file (server restart may be required after file
update). There's information in the net concerning OCSP support for
client authentication in newer versions of Apache (google
SSLOCSPEnable), but I can see no real use for it save for some very
complicated systems.

Hello

I have a web page that asks for client certificate.
These are the options for this:

SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 10

How does SSLVerifyClient  verifies the client certificate?
This option protects against certificates manual made with a fake
public-private key pair?
So can someoane make a certificate identical with the original, attach
another set of public and private keys and pretend to be someoane
else?

Thank you
