My problem is this:

I am running an Apache-SSL server,
I want to let new visitors access some pages in my server without having to
present a
certificate, for example the pages where they ask for one. On the other
hand, I want to have directories where only certified clients are allowed.
If I set SSLVerifyClient to 2 and use SSLFakeBasicAuth the part of allowing
only certified clients works great, but clients without certificate can't
get to ask for one. If set SSLVerifyClient to 1 it works just like set to 2,
not allowing uncertified clients. If I set SSLVerifyClient to 0 it allows
uncertified clients to ask for their certificate, but SSLFakeBasicAuth
doens't works because the client never presents it's certificate to the server!

Do you have any ideia?

Thanks,

Jorge
