How about using just basic user names and passwords? Seems a lot
simpler. Client certs can really make things messy and complicated,
I worked with them a bunch several years ago, ENDLESS headaches, and
we weren't using CRL formally at least, the application had a sort
of CRL built into it, where we specifically registered certain
CN's with the app, and apache just acted as a pass through mechanism
to the app(which was java/tomcat).
