Please attach the mod_ssl configuration which you're using. I assume you are talking about the httpd.conf file I guess. There are a couple of other files that this might be. I will try and get you copies of the whole thing. PS this problem actually exists on three machines, so I will only be sending you the files from one to same some space, but if you want something from all three I will be glad to provide it.

the ssl.conf file for etc/httpd/conf.d
Note that this is minus the virutal host things. These servers have multiple virtual hosts on multiple ips, so for sake of more modular design the virtual host stuff is in seperate files. I will send you a sample of this next. This will only be a sample, three severs with 2-9 virtual hosts per server is a lot of data, so unless you need all of them, which I doubt because they all work alike, I am only sending you the one.

virtual host file for ssl
Here is the virtual host file for a sample. I have removed the host name and will be sending that to you seperately in case you need it.

the ssl.conf file for etc/httpd/conf.d
making it into text
The offending line is at the bottom of the vh file SSLVerifyClient optional_no_ca If this is commented out then everything works with the existing bundle. But anything else causes the problem. Also note that we are using the free thwate email certificates. OK I found another application that this breaks. This breaks sendmail 465 level authentication. There definitely seems to be a problem here. See bug 479484 for more info on this in the sendmail context. It could well be that there is a buggy Microsoft SSL implementation common to both problems, if you're only seeing this with MSIE/Outlook clients. It would be really useful if you could try a process similar to the reporter in the sendmail bug: 1) take a copy of ca-bundle.crt and configure mod_ssl to use that 2) remove a cert from the beginning 3) test 4) goto 2 if test fails to see if this is a similar number-of-certs-in-the-list issue. Interesting, but the ms bug is not applicable. a. was never using MSIE and Outlook. b. The same problem exists going fedora to fedora. However other than this the symptoms reported by the first reporter of this bug are the same with one one possible exception. Don't know if he is using port 465 tls authentication. But I would bet that he is. I am wondering if these are indeed the same bug and that the comment on the bug in MS is not a red herring. This also breaks palm access to email Have you managed to try the process in comment 9 for any additional case which breaks? Used the old ca bundle and that worked. The comment as I understood it was in reference to a microsoft bug, and once again this is not involving a ms operating system. Would anybody seeing this bug be willing to test out some experimental mod_ssl+OpenSSL packages? There is a bug being tracked upstream with very similar symptoms, which is caused by a bug in OpenSSL+mod_ssl. (if anybody is willing, please state what Fedora version) This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
