[users@httpd] Apache sending a client certificate for mutual authentication

[alessandro macuz <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi folks,

the most recent question on the topic I found is this one

http://httpd.markmail.org/message/n5uuusgzsi2bc72b?q=apache+to+send+ssl+client+certificate

but there who asked the question was invited to use this list and I didn't
see this topic discussed.

To give you an idea just imagine the scenario where we want to increase the
security of the access to a web-server on a appliance that does mutual
authentication but with weaker control.

Can apache2 send a client certificate on a back-end connection?
Do you have any reference? Or is it not possible at all?

Many thanks in advance,

Alex
