Proxying client certificate

Hello all,

I'm trying to do the following and I don't success:

I want to authenticate users against a Apache 2.0.40 proxy using SSL wi=
th client
certificate authentication. Beyond the proxy, there is a Web server in
militarized zone and I want to forward the X.509v3 user certificate to =
this Web
server, in order to perform access control.

I have tried to configure the proxy with SSL and client authentication =
using
certs and the Web server with SSL (without authentication) and, of cour=
se, this
doesn't work since two different SSL contexts are established: Browser-=
>Proxy
and Proxy->SSL, so the information about the SSL channel in the Web se=
rver has
nothing to do with the browser -> the server doesn't receive the user
certificate.

I have also tried to configure the proxy with SSL and client authentica=
tion with
certs and the Web server without SSL. This works but, obviously, the in=
formation
about the SSL channel established between the browser and the proxy is =
not
forwarded to the Web server.

I've set "SSLOptions" to "+StdEnvVars +CompatEnvVars +ExportCertData" =
in the
proxy and I wonder if it is possible to forward the environment variabl=
es from
the proxy to the Web server.

Can any of you give me any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel =C1ngel Pe=F1a.

I do not know if this works
but I would try using mod_rewrite
and rewrite
/ to http://user@realhost/

Where user is extracted from the x509 DN
