Bonjour All Users, My setup has a ROOT CA and 3 level of Sub CA's. I have generated apache web server and client certificates from every the ROOT and Sub CA's.
I have configured my APACHE web server for client certificate (mutual) authentication. I have generated the apache web server certificate and client certificates from the ROOT CA with proper extensions. In case of Root CA, it works well. Mutual authentication works fine. In case of Sub CA, the apache web server certifictae and client certificates are generated by SubCA with the same extensions/profile as in case of ROOT CA. But when i try to authenticate users from Sub CA's then following error occurs "unhandled critical extension". SSLCACertificateFile contains the concatenated certifcates of all the CA's( issuing CA certtificate is at top and Root ca certificate is at bottom of this file) Here is my vhost file NameVirtualHost *:80 NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:80> DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/ ServerName XXXXXXXXXXXXXX RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}$1 [L,R] </VirtualHost> <VirtualHost *:443> DocumentRoot /srv/www/htdocs/ ServerName XXXXXXXXX SSLEngine on SSLCipherSuite HIGH SSLProtocol all -SSLv2 SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificates/cert.pem SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/certificates/key.pem SSLCACertificateFile /etc/apache2/certificates/chain.pem #SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/apache2/certificates/chain.pem //chain.pem contains all the upper level certificates concanetated such that (1st certificate is of issuing CA , going downward towards the root CA... // i have also tried with the SSLCertificateChainFile directive but the error is same ... <Directory "/srv/www/htdocs/"> SSLVerifyClient require SSLRequireSSL SSLRequire %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN} eq "XXXX" SSLVerifyDepth 3 SSLOptions +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData </Directory> </VirtualHost> I am using OpenSSL version 0.9.8h release 28 May 2008 and Apache version 2.2.10-2.5 that come by default with OpenSUSE 11.1 distribution... This issue has already been reported in May 2006, Kindly guide me in this aspect.

When I use openssl -verify on the certificate, it seems happy. Is there a way I can ask mod_ssl or openssl to ignore critical extensions? I am aware that this is not good practice, however, I need to demo this setup and there does not seem to be any other way forward. i.e. is there a flag in openssl that can turn this checking off temporarily & how can I do this?
