Client certificate check = Processing of the Certificate handshake message failed

Post by pparent » Fri Apr 13, 2018 11:02 am

Hi,

When activating client certificate check I get the following error. It works fine with "verify-client-cert none". I can't figure out what's happening.

Maybe try using the correct PKI for the client cert .. ?

It did, I regenerated the keys and certificates and it worked. The old ones, may not have been generated with the same CA, or something like this, because I made a lot of testing at that time.
