Like many educational institutions we get "educational certificates" that are chain certificates..

With apache the full certificate chain is working as expected..

For elog I copied the appropriate files to server.crt and server.key

Netscape 3 is happy with that setup, Internet Explorer and Opera are mentioning the open certificate chain.

When I tried to copy the file known as SSLCACertificateFile in Apache to chain.crt elogd does not longer work and 

openssl s_client -showcerts -connect <myserver>:<elogd_port>

only shows: 

CONNECTED(00000003)
25523:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:562:

What do I do wrong?
