You should send this question to a mailing list supporting your SoapClient. OpenSSL is only marginally involved in this process (it is probably used as a library by your SoapClient). I even doubt that Apache has anything to do with it on your (the client) side, though on the server side of course it has to be configured correctly to request and accept your client certificate.I'm brand new to Soap and SSL. I have used SoapClient functionality built within PHP to successfully call a web service using its WSDL. So, I feel fairly comfortable about that. However, I am now working on a project that calls for me to call a web service and authenticate myself using a digital certificate. I have what I think is the correct certificate(s) from the certificate authority, but have no idea how to install and pass it to the web service I am trying to call. I am using Apache 2 on a Windows machine, and coding in PHP 5. I've read a bit about openssl (which I actually used to create my CSR) and mod_ssl, but beyond that can't find explicit instructions for how to accomplish my task. My server doesn't need to do any certification of any requests, I just need to authenticate my requests to the web service I am trying to call. Is it as simple as populating the "_local_cert" property on my SoapClient object in PHP? Do I have to enable anything in my php.ini or httpd.conf (apache config) files? Does Apache have to be configured with reference to my certificate and keys?Thanks in advance for the help. I hope what I'm trying to do is fairly basic.
