I am glad someone is using x509 Auth, it is a very simple way to handle
user security,
One important piece of the puzzle (with apache) is:
SSLVerifyClient optional
The optional allows one to accept any user on the website, while having
some web2py actions require a valid user certificate
just by adding the standard @auth.requires_login()
## Client Authentication (Type):
# Client certificate verification type and depth. Types are none,
optional,
# require and optional_no_ca. Depth is a number which specifies how
deeply
# to verify the certificate issuer chain before deciding the
certificate is
# not valid.
#SSLVerifyClient require
#SSLVerifyDepth 10
