Issue #19898 has been updated by Dustin Mitchell.

nginx appears *not* to support such an environment variable, per 
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_ssl_module.html

Feature #19898: Use SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN from mod_ssl

----------------------------------------
Puppet currently recommends passing SSL_CLIENT_S_DN for ssl_client_header, and 
then parsing the CN out of that DN.  But mod_ssl can give us the data we need 
(the CN) without the requirement to parse it.  See 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html

This is a simple code change, but would would require some attention from users 
to make sure the new variable is configured and available.

This is related to, but more invasive than, the fix I'm proposing for #15561, 
so I'm branching the idea into this ticket.
