Yesterday I had a meeting the whole day, that's why I couldn't answer the emails... Currently, I'm doind all my tests with a Ubuntu Linux 10.04, using Apache 2.2.14 with mod_nss 1.0.8. I downloaded the source from <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mod_nss">http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mod_nss</a> and compiled it. The SSL connection is working... but I have the problem I told you with SSL client. After all the emails, I'm trying the last solution, the one whi Luis told me. I tried to use the directive NSSRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)/ \ and %{SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY} eq "SUCCESS" ) and it works... but it also asks for the certificate the first time you connect... I would like it to ask for the certificate just when the user clicks some link (I got it working with mod_ssl). Do you know any solution for this? By the way.. wich language is the one _NSSRequire is using for the conditions? Thank you very much. I'll continue with the research On 02/09/10 12:07, Luis Neves wrote: <blockquote cite="mid:COL110-W54B56E3787CCEA97F6E89EA78C0@phx.gbl" type="cite"> <style></style>Hi again! Sorry everybody for so much posts Hola Tomas, What seems the best practices on this case is Putting the NSSverifyclient optional outside location and then playing with the SSLRequire (or NSSRequire in mod_nss case) like for ex: <Location /> NSSRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)/ \ and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O} eq "mycompany" \ and %{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_OU} in {"myrole"}) </Location> or: NSSRequire ( %{SSL_CIPHER} !~ m/^(EXP|NULL)/ \ and %{SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY} eq "SUCCESS" ) or using a virtualhost just for the authenticated part of the site Um abraço Luis <hr id="stopSpelling">From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:luisneves@hotmail.com">luisneves@hotmail.com</a> To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rcritten@redhat.com">rcritten@redhat.com</a>; <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ttormo@indenova.com">ttormo@indenova.com</a> Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2010 08:36:20 +0000 CC: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mod_nss-list@redhat.com">mod_nss-list@redhat.com</a> Subject: Re: [Mod_nss-list] Problem configuring Client certificate Authentication <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft SafeHTML"> <style> .ExternalClass .ecxhmmessage P {padding:0px;} .ExternalClass body.ecxhmmessage {font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma;} </style> Hi Robe, indeed Ive tested by myself and have the same renegotiation error as well Played with the settings Ive told to Tomas but still got the problem Played with the Apache env variables you mentioned but to no avail, same problem. Will read carefully your link but it looks the only solution is avoiding at all costs using verifyclient inside location tags... :( Luis > Date: Wed, 1 Sep 2010 08:59:01 -0400 > From: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:rcritten@redhat.com">rcritten@redhat.com</a> > To: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ttormo@indenova.com">ttormo@indenova.com</a> > CC: <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:mod_nss-list@redhat.com">mod_nss-list@redhat.com</a> > Subject: Re: [Mod_nss-list] Problem configuring Client certificate Authentication > > Tomás Tormo wrote: > > 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...
