Description
Some new authentification systems like WebID-TLS [1] require to access to the SubjectAltName field of the client SSL X509 certificate.
Currently, to the best of our knowledge, no variable defined in SSL module [2] can extract this information. It would be nice to have a variable similar to $ssl_client_s_dn for this specific field or a general variable for the full certificate.

See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
A client certificate can be obtained via $ssl_client_cert and $ssl_client_raw_cert variables.
