Thanks Boyle, I have read the document and did some googling. I am using version 2.0.49 and wrote the below config to achive my goal : RewriteEngine On RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=10 RewriteLog "/home/alpayo/rewrite.log" RewriteLogLevel 5 RewriteCond %{ENV:SSL_CLIENT_S_DN} (.*) RewriteRule .* - [E=FORWARD_CERT:%1] RequestHeader add APACHE_CLIENT_CERT_HARD %{FORWARD_CERT}e After this config, I see from tomcat side that APACHE_CLIENT_CERT_HARD is added to http headers but its value is null and I could not find anything to overcome this problem. And nothing is written to the log file in /home/alpayo/rewrite.log. Does anybody have a solution for this?
