ssl issues - no certificate configured

Hi List,

I am getting the following in my log (below) when starting apache.  I am 
not clear why since i have ssl certs defined in 
/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/default-ssl.conf

Verified default-ssl.conf is enabled and so is the ssl mod.

What am I doing wrong?

This means that
         #     the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access 
control.  The
         #     user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509 
certificate.
         #     Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every 
entry in the user
         #     file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.
         #   o ExportCertData:
         #     This exports two additional environment variables: 
SSL_CLIENT_CERT and
         #     SSL_SERVER_CERT. These contain the PEM-encoded 
certificates of the
         #     server (always existing) and the client (only existing 
when client
         #     authentication is used). This can be used to import the 
certificates
         #     into CGI scripts.
         #   o StdEnvVars:
         #     This exports the standard SSL/TLS related `SSL_*' 
environment variables.
         #     Per default this exportation is switched off for 
performance reasons,
         #     because the extraction step is an expensive operation and 
is usually
         #     useless for serving static content. So one usually 
enables the
         #     exportation for CGI and SSI requests only.
         #   o OptRenegotiate:
         #     This enables optimized SSL connection renegotiation 
handling when SSL
         #     directives are used in per-directory context.

         #   SSL Protocol Adjustments:
         #   The safe and default but still SSL/TLS standard compliant 
shutdown
         #   approach is that mod_ssl sends the close notify alert but 
doesn't wait for
         #   the close notify alert from client. When you need a 
different shutdown
         #   approach you can use one of the following variables:
         #   o ssl-unclean-shutdown:
         #     This forces an unclean shutdown when the connection is 
closed, i.e. no
         #     SSL close notify alert is send or allowed to received. 
This violates
         #     the SSL/TLS standard but is needed for some brain-dead 
browsers. Use
         #     this when you receive I/O errors because of the standard 
approach where
         #     mod_ssl sends the close notify alert.
         #   o ssl-accurate-shutdown:
         #     This forces an accurate shutdown when the connection is 
closed, i.e. a
         #     SSL close notify alert is send and mod_ssl waits for the 
close notify
         #     alert of the client. This is 100% SSL/TLS standard 
compliant, but in
         #     practice often causes hanging connections with brain-dead 
browsers. Use
         #     this only for browsers where you know that their SSL 
implementation
         #     works correctly.
         #   Notice: Most problems of broken clients are also related to 
the HTTP
         #   keep-alive facility, so you usually additionally want to 
disable
         #   keep-alive for those clients, too. Use variable 
"nokeepalive" for this.
         #   Similarly, one has to force some clients to use HTTP/1.0 to 
workaround
         #   their broken HTTP/1.1 implementation. Use variables 
"downgrade-1.0" and
         #   "force-response-1.0" for this.
         BrowserMatch "MSIE [2-6]" \
                 nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \
                 downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0
         # MSIE 7 and newer should be able to use keepalive
         BrowserMatch "MSIE [17-9]" ssl-unclean-shutdown
