    maybe I didn't make myself clear: what I'm looking for is a tool to
make a certificate for browser client so that only certificated clients
can access certain parts of my site. 
    I know that this is possible as you can use some directives in
httpd.conf to enforce this. 
    And if you go to the security section of your browser (netscape) there
is a section where you can acquire a personal certificate (this is what I
want to provide) either from Verisign or importing a previous generated
one. 
    Do you know how to do this?
    Thanks,
