RE: [PATCH] mod_SSL with Client Authentication

[MATHIHALLI,MADHUSUDAN (HP-Cupertino,ex1)]

Yup.. you're right. That's the reason why the client certificate parameters
are maintained in the connection context - so that when a access check is
being performed, a renegotiation is not triggered (again).. 

Another TODO item in the modules/ssl/README file can be removed :
o Remember the Peer Certificate parameters.

Thanks

also for per-location client auth (SSLVerify*).  it would also handle
per-server SSLVerify too, but triggers renegotiation, which it shouldn't
now with your patch in.
