No, I mean initiating a TLS handshake with openssl or some other client
tool with no client cert. This is a low level problem. There are no high
level solutions or steps. It's dirty and highly technical.

Not using SOAP at all, or not encountering whatever mod_ssl error
condition is triggered by this certificate. They could be imposing
certificate constraints on every other SP and just sticking a CA into the
root list. Unless they're supporting existing self-signed certs on those
SPs, it isn't even worth asking.

They also have logs. What do they say? mod_ssl often logs specifics when
it rejects a cert.
