Hi Roland, did you try using the owsproxy module from mapbender. It is primarily designed to provide a security proxy functionality and should exactly do what you want. The clients gets a url that points to your server, the server proxies this request to the original wms url and sends the image back to the client.
This is for the proxy part only. Now you have to tell apache to use the required certificate. I am not sure how to do this or even if it can be done, but i think it is easier than cascading the wms via mapserver.
