Author Client Authentication by cert

All,

I've been trying with Apache 2.0 to setup client based certificate
authenticaiton to a secure portion of our website with no luck. I can
get Apache to repond with the request to "select" the browser cert for
authentication; however, there are no certs in the list. I suppose it
is because my SSLCACertificateFile setup is incorrect. But, I just
can't find any good examples/explaniations. I'm sure I'm using the
wrong cert or something but I'm stuck. The apache error_log gives the
following:

[Mon Jan 09 22:06:59 2006] [error] Re-negotiation handshake failed: Not
accepted by client!?

I suspect this is telling me that the browser and client cert don't
match. If anyone can provide me a good explaniation of how to create a
cert bundle (which may be what I can't figure out how to do) or any
other advice...would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Tim
