It looks like SP3 will not allow server certificate to be used as
intermediate CA.

Try signing client certificates with the ca certificate. I have included
modified Makefile for 2.1.3. I have added "make caclient.pem" to
produce client certificates and "cleanca" to remove them. Try
importing caclient.p12 created this way onto the user machine (along
with ca.der) and see if they will work with SP3. They should work with
SP2 as well.
