In addition to the cogent comments of others, I suggest you assure that you cannot establish an SSL 2.0 connection -- the protocol has vulnerabilities which are exploitable, and most browsers and some servers still support this version. Only TLS 1.0 or SSL 3.0 should be used.

The server handshake provides a list of DNs of trusted
signers, that's something to look at since it has an
impact on client auth.

You should determine if a client can downgrade the security
to a degree to which the communication cannot be considered
adequately secured or private.
