It was thus said that the Great Buddy wu once stated: > when setup apache using ssl, and require a client certificate to login, > then in apache's logfile. can log the user who access the website with > certificate? and which certificate he use, like name, email etc.thanks alog In my Apache config file, I defined the following: LogFormat "%h %l \"%{SSL_CLIENT_S_DN}x\" %t \"%r\" %>s %b \"%{Referer}i\" \"%{User-Agent}i\"" sslcombined And in the configuration for the secure site: <VirtualHost 66.252.224.242:443> ServerName secure.conman.org CustomLog /home/spc/web/logs/s-secure.conman.org sslcombined ... </VirtualHost> You may want to play around with what you log. Some examples: SSL_CLIENT_S_DN SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_C SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_ST SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_L SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_O SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_OU SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN But it really depends upon the fields defined for the certificate. -spc --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
