Description Yoshinori KUNIGA 2009-09-10 12:10:04 UTC
Description of problem:
When I use mod_ssl and mod_python and pyxmlsec, certificate
verification error occurs.  I found a procedure to reproduce but root
cause is not yet unidentified.  Maybe my configuration or test code is
wrong.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
  httpd-2.2.3-31.el5
  mod_ssl-2.2.3-31.el5
  mod_python-3.2.8-3.1
  pyxmlsec-0.3.0-3.el5

How reproducible:
  Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Modify httpd.conf and ssl.conf.

2. Create files for test.

==> /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl_crypto.conf <==
<Directory "/var/www/html/ssl_crypto/">
    AddHandler mod_python .py
    PythonHandler ssl_crypto
    PythonDebug On
</Directory>

==> /var/www/html/ssl_crypto/ssl_crypto.py <==
#!/usr/bin/python

from mod_python import apache
import xmlsec

def handler(req):

    req.content_type = "text/plain"
    req.write("Hello Test!\n")

    if xmlsec.init() < 0:
        raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
    if xmlsec.cryptoAppInit(None) < 0:
        raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR
    if xmlsec.cryptoInit() < 0:
        raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, apache.HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR

    xmlsec.cryptoShutdown()
    xmlsec.cryptoAppShutdown()
    xmlsec.shutdown()

    return apache.OK


3. Install cacert.pem on web server.

4. Restart web server.

5. Install client certification file on web browser.

6. Access to https://xx.xx.xx.xx/ssl_crypto/ssl_crypto.py.

7. Access to https://xx.xx.xx.xx/ssl_crypto/ssl_crypto.py again.


Actual results:
Certificate verification error occurs.

Expected results:
Certificate verification error does not occurs.
