mod_dav_svn & X.509 certificate authorization

Hi,

I am just in the process of setting up a new repository server.

Today access to our repository server is available (only) via
webdav_at_https, with each developer having his own X.509 certificate to
authenticate the https session.

Then, in a next step, he is asked for a username & a password (LDAP
based), that, upon success, is passed on to mod_dav_svn as a username.

And finally, in order to have fine grained access control, we use
mod_authz_svn to restrict who is allowed to do what in the repository
(stored in the AuthzSVNAccessFile flat text file).

Now as I am starting from scratch, I am wondering if progress has been
made to utilize X.509 client authentication for mod_dav_svn and
mod_authz_svn because I would really like to get rid of the second
authentication stage.

Even better, I would also like to migrate the AuthzSVNAccessFile into LDAP.

Any news on that (I remember a thread on this years ago ... :-)

TIA!
