Precondition Failed problem with apache plugin using SSL

Question

I got a "Precondition Failed" while trying to use apache + mod_ssl + mod_wl128_20.so.
I am using Apache 2.0.52 & WebLogic 8.1 SP4 on Windows 2K Server.
The web.xml is something like this:
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Secured</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/appmanager/Portal/desktop</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<user-data-constraint>
<transport-guarantee>CONFIDENTIAL</transport-guarantee>
</user-data-constraint>
</security-constraint>
While the httpd.conf is:
     <IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
          SetHandler weblogic-handler
          WebLogicHost localhost
          WebLogicPort 7001
          MatchExpression *
     </IfModule>
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
<VirtualHost localhost:443>
     <IfModule mod_weblogic.c>
          DEBUG ALL
          SetHandler weblogic-handler
          SecureProxy ON
          TrustedCAFile C:/bea81/weblogic81/server/lib/CertGenCA.der
          RequireSSLHostMatch FALSE
          WebLogicHost localhost
          WebLogicPort 7002
          KeepAliveEnabled false
          MatchExpression *
     </IfModule>
The proxy of http is fine and I can also use port virtualhost 443 map to weblogic http (port 7001).
But when I use 443 map to 7002 (SSL), I got an error:
     Precondition Failed
     The precondition on the request for the URL /MyPortal/appmanager/Portal/desktop evaluated to false.
When I turned on the DEBUG ALL in httpd.conf, I find an error message:
     ================New Request: [GET /MyPortal/appmanager/Portal/desktop HTTP/1.1] =================
     Thu Aug 11 14:29:44 2005 INFO: SSL is configured
     Thu Aug 11 14:29:44 2005 SSL Main Context not set. Calling InitSSL
     Thu Aug 11 14:29:44 2005 ERROR: SSL initialization failed
Can anyone help me? Please email me by [email protected]
Thanks very much!

I got past the initial problem. You need to run der2pem and use the pem file not the der file.
