[Mod_nss-list] Problem configuring Client certificate Authentication

Tue Aug 31 08:57:27 UTC 2010

I dumb test:

restart apache with /etc/ini.d/httpd restart, close and open the client browser and try again
just to be sure

No... It didn't work with location neither..

But maybe if I follow your aproach It could work for me as well...

after fixing "location"  it worked??

no, for now I really didnt need that, 

I am trying to make a reverse proxy to protect internal pages and give
them access via some smartcards, But boy had so many problem so far
that I was almost quitting on this.....!

Wow!! Actually I had directory directive instead of location at that
moment (I was just trying that). I made a copy-paste and changed it
on-the-fly but I guess I didn't realize about the first
<Location>... hehehe sorry

So... do you do something similar in your virtualhost? I mean, do you
need users to use a client certificate only in some parts of the
website?

Thank you very much

    Hi
Tomas,

Its missing something on your post, like the first location, etc, but
anyway, is when using the "location" tag that is giving the problem? I
dont use it but will make a test to see what happens here

Greetings

I'm trying to configure mod_nss in Apache in order to use it as my
client certificate authentication mechanism, but I'm having problems
with it..

I'd like to use client authentication in some parts of a website... so
I tried to do it as with mod_ssl, using the Location directive with the
NSSVerifyClient require directive inside, but I never works... I always
get this error...

After this, I checked the documentation and it says I can work
per-server or per-directory context... So I tried to do it per-server
and It works perfectly.. but, as I told you, this is not the solution
I'm looking for.. so I tried to configure it per-directory... but it
doesn't work neither...

Here I attach my per-directory configuration... Is just a test but this
is more or less how it should look at the end:
