I would like to have the users of my site authenticated via ssl certificates. Authentication works well with apache2, and I would like to have my zope working behind the proxy module of apache. I would not find it neccessary to leave the authentication to be done by apache, but I expect it to be simplier. ... Is there a common (or uncommon) solution for this case?
There is a product called "RemoteUserFolder" which should allow "foreign" authentication (e.g. by Apache or a different WebServer). It looks for "REMOTE_USER" which the WebServer must provide. I do not know what you must do to convince Apache to provide this information. It might not work with "mod_proxy"...
ther is a directive RequestHeader (from mod_headers) which will work with mod_proxy (server behind the proxy will see these headers).
