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... I always get this error...

So I tried to do it per-server and It works perfectly.. but, as I told you, this is not the solution I'm looking for.. so I tried to configure it per-directory... but it doesn't work neither...
