Hi,
Have a look at mod_authz_ldap (ldap baseed white listing,
http://authzldap.othello.ch/). Probably far more than you need but it
does things along the same lines and has some nice notes how to do
various bits and pieces.
You can add env vars that you can use php have a look at SSLOptions
+StdEnvVars and +ExportCertData.
Regards
Matt

Subject: Authenticating users based on S/MIME certificate
Hi. I am an administrator of a user account at an Apache web server.
Currently the server is running Apache 1.3.37. My hosting provider plans
on switching to new hardware with possibly new software. So I don't know
if my web server will be run on Apache 1.3.37 or Apache 2.0.
My goal is to let visitors of my web site authenticate themselves to my
web server using some certificate, possibly S/MIME certificates.
Now, my current S/MIME certificate for personal e-mail is approved for
the following purposes:
Email Signer Certificate
Email Recipient Certificate
Is it possible to have such a certificate authenticate its user towards
an SSL web server? In any case I want to have a limited crowd of users
seeing a subdirectory of pages without bothering the user with a user
name/password dialog. Just their personal certificate lets them see
pages in a certain subdirectory.
As I understand the documentation for PHP, there is no means whereby PHP
can read and interpret an SSL client certificate. Is that correct?
Gunnar
