Re: Client Certificates (Help!)

did you use a real certificate?
if you used a test certificate did you install the test certificate

come preinstalled in most browsers.

Theory is when you know something, but it doesn't work.
Practice is when something works, but you don't know why.
Programmers combine theory and practice:
Nothing works and they don't know why.
