I am trying to configure a server with client authentication on a directory and Certificate Revocation List (crl). I succeeded once to make the client client authentication works but is is not anymore and I never succeeded in making the revocation list works.
Here are my configuration files :
- default-ssl.conf
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<VirtualHost _default_:443>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log

I used the following tuto to create root and intermediate AC : https://jamielinux.com/docs/openssl-certificate-authority/ (part 1 and 2)
I used the following command to generate client certificate :
4 - Create client certificate 4.1 Create the client key openssl genrsa -des3 -out client.key 4096
4.2 Create the client csr
openssl req -new -key client.key -out client.csr
4.3 Create the client certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in client.csr -CA /root/ca/intermediate/certs/intermediate.cert.pem -CAkey /root/ca/intermediate/private/intermediate.key.pem -set_serial <mettre une valeur à changer à chaque cert genre à incrémenter (01 pour le premier puis 02...> -out client.crt
4.4 Convert client certificate to PKCS
openssl pkcs12 -export -clcerts -in client.crt -inkey client.key -out client.p12
Now here is my question, it seems my intermediate certificate is not trusted, indeed when I try to access the directory /var/www/html/testClientCert with Mozilla (I imported intermediate AC + client cert in Mozilla), I have the following error :
tail -f 20 /var/log/apache2/*

How comes error occurs whereas I signed the intermediate AC cert with the root AC cert and that my client certificate is signed by intermediate AC ?
