Errors such as OpenSSL: error:14094412: SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate in the SSL logfile, are usually caused by a browser which is unable to handle the server certificate/private-key. For example, Netscape Navigator 3.x is unable to handle RSA key lengths not equal to 1024 bits.
