Well, after messing with the CA certificates and finally getting the 
right combo, I got a message that the cert wasn't valid for that 
particular purpose (client authentication). Further digging led me to 
the discovery that startssl.com does not offer client auth certs for 
their free class 1 certificates--a paid upgrade would be required. This 
project is not worth spending any money on so I'll just create my own CA 
and do it the old-fashioned way. Thanks for the help.
