I have been succesfully using a https-server with client certicates, and it works as expected with Windows clients.
With "SSLVerifyClient optional" in the virtual server configuration I can use client certificate with the browser on my own pc, and if I access pages from a random pc, I use username/password.
Recently I have used also an android tablet to access those ssl-pages and I'd like to skip client certificates on that android browser because they do not seem to work very well.
For that purpose I tried the following in the virtual server config:
| Code: | <If "%{HTTP_USER_AGENT} =~ /Windows NT/">
SSLVerifyClient optional
</If> |
The purpose is to skip asking certificates with any browser that is not running on Windows NT.
It works as expected with the android browser on the tablet, but there is a strange side-effect when I use a Windows client as following lines start to appear into the ssl-error.log
| Code: | | AH02261: Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not accepted by client!? |
Any clue what is the problem?
How should I do this?
Server is Apache 2.4.7 32-bit. |

It seems impossible at least with <If> directive, because it is processed too late.
Is there any other way that would process the condition in proper phase of the handshake? |
