Description Cyril DANGERVILLE 2012-05-16 16:37:04 UTC 
Hello,
one of the SSL How-to examples uses SSLCACertificateFile/Path directives in a directory context:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/ssl/ssl_howto.html#certauthenticate
... whereas the documentation for these directives restricts their use to the server config or virtual host contexts:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/trunk/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcacertificatefile
The latter is confirmed by the current discussion:
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52495

So I guess the documentation for the example should be fixed to avoid confusion.

Regards,
CD

Thanks for the heads up, Cyril. This has been fixed in the documentation for 2.2, 2.4 and trunk.
