Hi -

A couple things. I noticed that these two functions return NULL (or empty string):

select ssl_issuer_dn();
select ssl_client_dn();

However, I can get specific fields:

select '/CN=' || ssl_issuer_field('commonName')
  || '/C=' || ssl_issuer_field('countryName')
  || '/O=' || ssl_issuer_field('organizationName')
  ;

--returns "/CN=UW Services CA/C=US/O=University of Washington"

I'm thinking of using an authorization scheme in which I check a list of valid certificate common-names, and, if the current client has no cert or is not in the list, they have no access (maybe force a logout). Is this feasable and/or advisable? I'll only have a single trusted CA.

Any help is appreciated!

thanks,
--craig
