Well saying doesn't work, it does not help me in any way. I can reply, it
works for me. What is it that it makes you think it does work? Do you get
any error messages? What happens to the client?

More feedback is required. Client authentication works in the test servers.

sorry. OK.
i examine the situation, i found 2 problem.
the first problem is: i have more client certificate in the certificate
manager. with mod_ssl, the client sends the right certificate to the
server, with mod_gnutls the client sends bad certificate, but when i
select the right certificate manually the authentication was done right.
the client is iceweasel (firefox) 2.0.0.12.
the second problem is really a feature request: with mod_ssl i can use
SSLUserName SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN settings, so i can use
$_SERVER['REMOTE_USER'] variable in my php authentication code.
thanks!

For your last feature request. the X.509 protocol is quite complex in name
handling and the only reliable output is SSL_CLIENT_S_DN which contains
the whole Distinguished name. The CN in a certificate might be empty. If
you just want the CN you can extract it from the SSL_CLIENT_S_DN variable.

Most probably a client issue.
