11 Two things to check:
12
13 First, the client configuration directory needs to be specified in the
14 server configuration file with the "client-config-dir" directive. In
15 your case, it looks like you need
16
17 client-config-dir ccd
18
19 but try an absolute path if that doesn't work for you.
20
21 The second is the naming convention for the client configuration files
22 themselves. The files in "ccd" need to match the common names on the
23 certificates of your clients exactly, IIRC. So instead of "client.file",
24 you probably want just "client".
