This is a configuration issue. From your httpd log on Mozilla's Bugzilla (which
is definitely the wrong place to post it to):

[Thu Feb 09 15:54:43 2012] [error] [client 192.168.180.174] Certificate
Verification: Error (20): unable to get local issuer certificate

Either your client/browser isn't sending any intermediate CAs in the handshake,
or mod_ssl can't locate them locally either. (Or third, if you're using a
single-tier CA hierarchy, mod_ssl can't locate the root cert itself.)

> I have basically this configuration for client auth:
>         SSLCACertificatePath
> pki/virtual-hosts/lcg-lrz-monitoring.grid.lrz.de/client.crt.d
>         SSLCADNRequestPath
> pki/virtual-hosts/lcg-lrz-monitoring.grid.lrz.de/client.acceptable-CA-DNs.crt.d
>         SSLCARevocationPath
> pki/virtual-hosts/lcg-lrz-monitoring.grid.lrz.de/client.crl.d
> 
> All these three files are actually symbolic links to the directory
> /etc/grid-security/certificates

There's no point in setting SSLCACertificatePath and SSLCADNRequestPath to the
exact same directory (see
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslcadnrequestfile).

Looking at the directives quoted above, it should be noted that they specify
*relative* paths. Unless there's a "pki" subdirectory in your HTTPD_ROOT (see
httpd -V), mod_ssl won't be able to find the CA certs this way.
