Sorin,
Re-reading your email, where you said:

"
I guess that what I'm seeing is exactly what you said would happen, i.e., my
check_user_id hook function is being called, but none of the SSL vars are
populated (since, as you said mod_ssl doesn't populate them until the fixup
phase).
What mechanisms/methods could I use to get those SSL vars ("you have to get
yourself the values of the server certificates, client certificate, etc, ") at
this point?
Thanks,
Jim
