DirectoryIndex/Indexes with Client Auth not working

Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.43 OpenSSL/0.9.6b

When I configure a virtual SSL host with basic auth, I can access
the following URLs without problem:

https://server.name/
https://server.name/subdir/index.html

Getting a directory index and/or trying https://server.name/subdir and
wanting the index.html is impossible: I get an error 403 returned. There
is no error_log entry, just an access_log entry.

My configuration is currently in an .htaccess file:


SSLRequireSSL
SSLOptions FakeBasicAuth +StrictRequire
SSLVerifyClient require
SSLVerifyDepth 10
SSLOptions +FakeBasicAuth +StrictRequire
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI
AuthName "RSC RA Authentication"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.passwd
require valid-user


If I leave out the `require' directive, the DirectoryIndex is processed
(but I am of course not authenticated).

I repeat: If I access a file directly, all is fine.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks & regards,
