New options SSLUserName

           Summary: New options SSLUserName
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: HEAD
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: mod_ssl
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: martin@v.loewis.de


Currently, mod_ssl can only set req->user to the DN, and only if FakeBasicAuth
is activated. This is insufficient if content handlers need to find out who the
authenticated user was. For example, Subversion looks into req->user to log the
author of a change upon commit.

This patch adds a new option SSLUserName, which can be configured to a mod_ssl
variable name. The option is a directory option, and it sets req->user if there
is an SSL connection, and the variable is non-NULL.

[Hoping I can attach the actual patch later]
