Hi All:
 
  Lately i have build up a SVN server using apache + subversion + TortoiseSVN. Now everything is working fine with username/password authorization method.
  But i am going to use SSL personal certificate to replace username/password authorization method, because this should be a way more security and simple. I am planning use SSL personal certificate to identify the user. Now everything is ok without any issue except the commits without username. This is true because i never keyed in the username/password during the login, the server always ask personal certificate.
  So my question is that are there any ways the TortoiseSVN can get the CN (common name) from SSL personal certificate to fill up the username during commit? because the administrator couldn't know the commit was created by which user without username information and the SSL personal certificate's CN is unique as well.
  Thanks.
 
Chris
