Hi all,

i'm trying to set up 'Basic Authentication' with mod_ssl and ran into trouble.

First, i'm not sure about the user name: is that the client's full DN (which could be
a lenghty string) or is it just the clients CN?
Second, no matter which of the above i put into my AuthUserFile, the servers asks me
for username and password when i connect to the https port. I've put an .htaccess file
into the document root which contains the AuthUserFile directive and tried a 'require
user My_DN/CN' directive - both do fail. The SSL environment variables are set, e.g.
SSL_CLIENT_CN (i tried that without client authentication).

When i just type in my CN and the password 'password', i can, of course, log in. But
this works with every certificate..8-(...

Am i overlooking something obvious?

Greetings
Michael
