Hmm, the user ID is already stored by mod_ssl with attribute name "UID" in
env var SSL_CLIENT_S_DN. Given that it's OpenSSL 0.9.8 and that the

cert contains the right OID?
No, unfortunately there is disparity between mod_ssl and OpenSSL here.
(I don't know why; I think historically the short name mappings were not
unique in OpenSSL possibly, something like that)
Hmmpf! So the string representation of SSL_CLIENT_S_DN is completely
generated by OpenSSL whereas the single attribute types are generated by
mod_ssl by looking at the cert's OID?
If NID_x500UniqueIdentifier maps to OID 2.5.4.45 it's plain wrong anyway...
It does indeed map to that OID... wrong in what sense?
Because the syntax assigned to attribute type 'x500UniqueIdentifier'
(OID 2.5.4.45) is 'Bit String' (OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.1466.115.121.1.6) which
cannot be used to store a user ID with characters like 'ABCDEF'.

Ciao, Michael.
