Description

In my setup a user can authenticate either via SSL client cert OR via AUTH.

It is redundant to ask a user that is already authenticated with an SSL clientcertificate to type again a password.

So I have added a configvariable whitelistclientcerts. If enabled, mod_auth only proceeds authentication if the user did not provide a valid certificate.

Sample config:

ssl.engine = "enable" 
ssl.pemfile = "/etc/server.pem" 
ssl.verifyclient.activate  = "enable" 
ssl.verifyclient.enforce = "disable" 
ssl.ca-file = "/etc/rootcert.pem" 
auth.backend = "htpasswd" 
auth.backend.htpasswd.userfile = "/etc/htpasswd" 
auth.debug = 2
auth.whitelistclientcert = "enable" 
auth.require = ( "/" => (
                "method" => "basic",
                "realm" => "foobar",
                "require" => "user=admin" 
        )

Improved version that does not call openssl functions if there is no SSL connection.

I'd rather use something that checks whether con->authed_user (REMOTE_USER env) is already set; I think that should qualify for "user is (already) authenticated".
