I do not know if this works
but I would try using mod_rewrite
and rewrite
/ to http://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Where user is extracted from the x509 DN

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 with
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
course, 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 server 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
authentication with certs and the Web server without SSL. This works but,
obviously, the information 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
variables from the proxy to the Web server.

Can any of you give me any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Miguel Ángel Peña.
