Many thanks, Stephanie. I just released the revised login.php page that you 
submitted. I just had to remove the first line of it, as the presence of it 
doesn't allows us to redirect to other pages, as the header has already been 
sent out.

That is actually a really nice catch. After some poking around I found out 
that this bug has been around for ages. It's even been present in the original 
BlueQuartz code for like eight years. The handler which is supposed to add or 
remove the  SSLCACertificateFile line is looking for mod_ssl.conf in the wrong 
place. 

I just published an update for that as well.
