What is [SSL:cert count] a count of?

When I use the rule and clientssl profile below, the log show [SSL::cert count] as 2, and CLIENTSSL_CLIENTCERT is executed twice. Is this because my CA file in

 

 

client cert ca "the-ca-bundle.crt"

 

 

contains two certificates, and the client verifies against them sequentially until one matches?

 

 

What would be really nice is some doco on some of these commands. In particular the session command. Can someone point me to a source for this? The wiki seems to have a place-holder for every topic I want to know about.

 

 

Thanks.

}

 

 

profile clientssl the_clientssl_profile {

client cert ca "the-ca-bundle.crt"

 

...

 

}

    Thanks Colin for your reply.

     

     

    Regarding further documentation, I'm really curious as to what the "session" command does. I have seen it used in several examples, particularly when referencing client certificate information. From these examples though, I could not work out what "session" was doing, nor why it was being used.
