This is sort of about 2/3 off-topic, but I am going to ask about it anyway.

I am trying to use s_server -Verify to learn some stuff about client
authentication. I'm using Netscape 4.5 as a client, and I have a couple of
free certs from Entrust and Verisign. When I try to connect to s_server I
get an error message from NS to the effect that I don't have any certs, and
s_server refuses the connection.

The actual error message from NS is as follows:

        The site 'foo' has requested client authentication, but you do not
have a
        Personal Certificate to authenticate yourself. The site may choose
not to give
        you access without one.

What does NS mean by 'Personal Certificate' in this context? I would have
thought that the Entrust and Verisign samples would qualify.

TIA * 10E6.
