Awesome SSL client cert fun

Tuesday, May 31, 2011 

Client cert authentication is oddly elusive given the practical value. I found a neat bug:

with
SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLVerifyDepth 3
SSLCADNRequestPath /usr/local/openssl/certs/clientcerts/

I get a request for identification in firefox, no problem. If I choose the right certificate to respond with I get an instant child pid 61501 exit signal Bus error (10). Every click on the “OK” button gets another seg fault. Yay. Magic.
