Re: [apache-ssl] Authentication problems



FakeBasicAuth will look in your authfile for an entry matching the X509
of the cert that's requesting the connection. It needs to have an entry
like this:

/O=Their Company/CN=A
Punter/Email=punter@gosh.look.at.this.internet.thingy:xxj31ZMTZzkVA

For each certificate that's allowed to connect.

The 'xxj31ZMTZzkVA' password is a default built in at compile time, and
is the same for every user. If it's set up correctly, you will not see
the Basic Auth login dialogue at all.

cheers,
Adam
