We have a very perplexing problem...
We are implementing a CA (using OpenSSL 0.9.4, apache 1.3.9, and
mod_ssl-2.4.10-1.3.9) and our users are using Netscape 4.51 (no upgrade
option currently exists for them). They can successfully generate a
certificate request which is delivered to our CA which we can successfully
sign and then make the resulting certificate available for pick-up. The
users are then able to retrieve the certificate, which is then visible as a
personal certificate and validates properly when the Verify button is
pressed.
Everything is fine so far ... BUT, when they visit the site which requires
client certificates, Netscape crashes. Looking at the apache/mod_ssl trace
logs it appears that the initial SSL handshake completes. The server then
requests a client cert and no further communication is received. It would
appear that Netscape is crashing when parsing the certificates to display
the certificate choices to the user.
If we export the certificate from Netscape and import it into Internet
Explorer, it works as expected...
Anyone have any ideas??
Thanks!
