Intermittent Issues with 8152 Error frm NSS on SSL public / private key with PHP/Curl

[Craig Henry]

Hi,

This is my first post to this list so please be kind! I'm a PHP developer
by trade and not a server person.

Environment - Linux Centos
SSL - 1.0.2k19-el7

Connection - CURL (via PHP) with public / private key auth + http basic auth

We're having an issue where we are seeing intermittent behavior connecting
to a 3rd party of the key being rejected with a 8152 error - "The key does
not support the requested operation". Other times it works OK.

We have another user who is using this 3rd party and same connection type
but not reported this issue.

Has anyone got any clue as to what might be causing this type of
intermittent connection issue ?

The CURL logs are below but altered for privacy reasons.

Thanks



-Craig
