[users@httpd] client cert auth issue

1. apache 2.0.54 on Sol 8

2. I have the following in a vhost used for client auth proxy

    SSLProxyEngine On
    SSLVerifyDepth 4
    SSLProxyVerify require
    SSLProxyCACertificateFile "/usr/local/apache/server2/ssl/CA.pem"
    SSLProxyMachineCertificateFile 
"/usr/local/apache/server2/ssl/client.pem"

3. When I run the following on command line
openssl s_client -connect >servername>:443 -cert 
/usr/local/apache/server2/ssl/client.pem -CAfile 
/usr/local/apache/server2/ssl/CA.pem

I get, in the last line
    Verify return code: 0 (ok)

which verifies my certs.


4. But through the browser I get Internal Server Error and in the error log

[Mon Jun 06 13:58:39 2005] [error] Certificate Verification: Certificate 
Chain too long (chain has 4 certificates, but maximum allowed are only 1)


5. Now, my CA has a chain of 4 certs and I have specified the 
SSLVerifyDepth in the config to be 4.
What's missing?

TIA
Aman

Hello All
Though I did not get any response for my question, having already 
resolved it, I thought it will be a good idea to post it.
I was missing the following:
Should have used SSLProxyVerifyDepth 4 instead of SSLVerifyDepth 4
Now it's all good.
