If you enable ssl in apache, you can verify a client certificate. If so apache will create a environment variable for you with the name 'SSL_CLIENT_VERIFY' with values 'NONE, SUCCESS, GENEROUS or FAILED:reason'. See https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_ssl.html

What is the meaning of this different values?

NONE: client has no cert
SUCCESS = cert is valid
GENEROUS = says only that some kind of certificate was sent at all
FAILED:reason = auth with the cert failed

SUCCESS is what you should look for Wink
