Hi all, thanks in advance for any help

I am attempting to configure Apache 2.0 on Redhat to accept connections on SSL, then reverse proxy in nonsecure to a Tomcat box. This is all working fine and dandy until I bring certificates into the picture.

I have a handful of .pfx certs provided as testing certs by a customer that I have installed in MSIE6. I have also installed a server/CA cert and CRL on Apache.

When I turn SSLVerifyClient to "require" the handshake goes OK, MSIE 6 correctly identifies the certificates to use, I pick one, then...nothing. I get "page not found". When I check the logs Apache doesn't seem to have even registered the attempt.

My ssl.conf is pretty much the default configuration except for the proxy directives and the cert locations. Is there some big gotcha using IE6 or .pfx or something? Any help vastly appreciated
