Very Computer

Hello world,

I've run a Apache server with SSL patch for a long time. It works very fine
so far and now I want to do more thing in the security side. My question is
: How can I pass the information such as user's and CA's ID in the
certificate my server received into a cgi program. For example, in a
"ordinary" www server I can get the information such as remote user, remote
host from the environment variables ($REMOTE_USER, $REMOTE_HOST). Can I get
the X509 certificate information in the same way ?
Thanks you reading this post.

Yes, look for the various SSL_XXX variables.
