Locate the Apache httpd.conf file.

If unable to locate the file, perform a search of the system to find the location of the file.

Open the httpd.conf file with an editor such as notepad, and search for the following uncommented directive: SSLVerifyClient

If SSLVerifyClient is not set to “require” this is a finding as the client is not required to present a valid certificate.
