I am trying to find an implementation for supporting the universal basic client authentication functionality for anyone who intends to access my Apache httpd server. I am using a third party authentication module 'mod_myauth' which will do this task for me. Unfortunate to my specification this particular module does not provide for SSL encryption when it validates the data (username / password) against my database on MySQL. This module is having MySQL C APIs usage for talking to the databse. My communication from my module, is database specific (my MySQL is already SSL-enabled). So is it only up to the MySQL SSL-specific C API to provide SSL (I tried using mysql_ssl_set() with no success) or there has more to be done at my module's code end?
