SSLVerifyClient did not exactly work out of the box on our apache2 server, and I don't have
liberty to experiment with it ...

pam_url with HMAC-SHA-2 just works, and I believe it has sound logic: HMAC-SHA-256 protected the URL POST fields from tampering in the man-in-the-middle attacks and the script return code.

However, brute forcing CGI PHP script presents a problem, and mTLS still seems like a way to do it, if only
I could make it work for me.

If you feel the pam TLS calls needs more than server side cert verification, 
you should look into client authentication, eg mTLS. Don’t invent your own 
crypto.
