Thanks for the reply. I should be able to just add these lines to my
.htaccess:

SSLVerifyClient optional
SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

and have the client variables in my environment (assuming the client
has a certificate installed), correct? Sorry I didn't RTFM earlier,
but I assumed it would be something complicated, and something only my
host could configure anyway.

Anyway, I tried that and I still don't get the client variables. Am I
missing something? Is it possible the main configuration is overriding
mine?
