How to load a TRUSTED Client CA

Sat Jan 7 03:12:20 UTC 2012

I need to specify a CA file to "ssl_client_certificate" directive. This
crt is generated by openssl x509 command with "-trustout" parameter, so
starts with "----BEGIN TRUSTED CERTIFICATE-----", rather than common
"-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----".

Nginx will report error:
PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line

Internally, nginx uses openssl's API "SSL_load_client_CA_file()" to load
the cert and report this error.

So it's a bug, expected or I mis-configure somewhere?

Thanks.
