Tricks and Tips

To get the SSL User Certificate auto login and auto create works, Apache need to pass the extracted common name info from the certificate to the CGI (i.e.moinmoin engine). Here is how to config the apache2 to do it
- Find your apache2 site conf file. Take ubuntu server as an examle, the file would be in /etc/apache2/sites-available/yourwiki
- edit the site conf file and add SSLOptions +StdEnvVars. Here is a code snap
```
   <Location "/yourwiki">
        #SSLOptions           +FakeBasicAuth +StdEnvVars +ExportCertData
        SSLOptions           +StdEnvVars
        SSLRequireSSL
   </Location>
```

A similar issue about SSL User name passing regards to SVN.

SVN AuthzSVNAccessFile directive could user name from SSL client certificate, if setup correctly.
SSLUserName Env_Var_Name is the directive to use

Sample location block, reference from http://momtchil.momtchev.com/technical/apache+svn.php

        <Location /svn>
                Order allow,deny
                Allow from all
                SSLRequireSSL                   # Add if you want to force everyone to use https
                SSLVerifyClient optional        # Or set to required if you don't want anonymous access
                SSLUserName SSL_CLIENT_S_DN_CN  # This is the field with the username in the certificate

                DAV svn                         # Activate SVN
                SVNParentPath /var/local/www/svn/repository # The SVN Root

                AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/subversion/public-svn-authzfile # All authorization happens in this file
        </Location>
