Description Martin v. L 2003-06-20 15:45:22 UTC

Currently, mod_ssl can only set req->user to the DN, and only if FakeBasicAuth
is activated. This is insufficient if content handlers need to find out who the
authenticated user was. For example, Subversion looks into req->user to log the
author of a change upon commit.

This patch adds a new option SSLUserName, which can be configured to a mod_ssl
variable name. The option is a directory option, and it sets req->user if there
is an SSL connection, and the variable is non-NULL.

[Hoping I can attach the actual patch later]

Thanks for the patch and docs, Martin.  Changed to allow using SSLUserName
outside location context, and committed to HEAD, at last.
