I want to authorise specific clients to access a certain directory
relying upon their certificates.

>From the apache-mod_ssl httpd.conf configuration file:
#   FakeBasicAuth:
#     Translate the client X.509 into a Basic Authorisation.  This means
that
#     the standard Auth/DBMAuth methods can be used for access control. 
The
#     user name is the `one line' version of the client's X.509
certificate.
#     Note that no password is obtained from the user. Every entry in
the user
#     file needs this password: `xxj31ZMTZzkVA'.

I can't understand what I should put into my /etc/httpd/passwd and
/etc/httpd/group, and how I can get the `one line' version of the
client's X.509 certificate.
 
Thanks in advance for any help.
