user names from ssl client certificates with mod_authz_svn

From: Jan <janreise_at_yahoo.de>

I have a problem setting up mod_authz_svn in combination with ssl
client certificates:

I'm trying to access a repository at a URL
https://my.server.org:443/svn/test-repository from a Mozilla Firefox
browser.

This works just fine as long as I don't use mod_authz_svn, i.e. as long
as I comment out the line
    'AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache/svn-access/access-file'
from my dav_svn.conf.

As soon as I comment it in, I get an 'Access denied' error.

Could it be that mod_authz_svn does not recognize the user name format
used in ssl distinguished names? Or am I simply messing up the syntax?

I have added log and configuration files below.

Thanks in advance for any pointers
Jan
