Problem with colon in subject DN when using FakeBasicAuth

Hi,

I'm using FakeBasicAuth with Apache which works fine with most user
certificates. However, user certificates with colons in the subject
doesn't work. The following illustrates the problem

- FakeBasicAuth works with a user entry like:

/CN=Martin Strandbygaard/C=Denmark/L=Copenhagen/
emailAddress=martin@strandbygaard.net

But not with the following entry:

/C=DK/O=Ingen organisatorisk tilknytning/CN=Martin Strandbygaard
Jensen/serialNumber=PID:9802-2002-2-529764104948:xxj31ZMTZzk VA

Notice the colon after the "PID" part. I get the following error in
the apache log:

[Sun Sep 11 17:14:24 2005] [error] [client 10.0.2.2] user /C=DK/
O=Ingen organisatorisk tilknytning/CN=Martin Strandbygaard Jensen/
serialNumber=PID not found: /test/test.php

From this I gather that the problem is the colon after the PID part.
I've tried the usual ways of escaping the colon, as well as the
entire string, but nothing has worked so far.

Does anyone know how to deal with colons in the subject? (they're
government issued certificates, that follow a specific template, so
removing the colon is not an option).

Regards
Martin Strandbygaard
