Apache Reference: mod_ssl, SSLCACertificatePath

SSLCACertificatePath

Directory of PEM-Encoded CA Certificates for Client Authentication
Syntax: SSLCACertificatePath A
Example: SSLCACertificatePath etc/ssl/
Since: Apache 1.3

This directive sets the directory where you keep the certificates of certification authorities (CAs) of those clients with which you deal. It is used to verify the client certificate during client authentication. The files in this directory must be PEM-encoded and are accessed through hash file names. Typically, you have to place the certificate files there and then create symbolic links with the help of the Makefile in the ssl.crt/ directory that comes with mod_ssl to accomplish this task.
