I picture says more then a hundred words. Even if it's ASCII.

User's browser (with a client certificate and uername bob)
|
|
v
Apache (gets the HTTPS request)
|
|
v
mod_ssl (verifies the certificate against the CA, sets REMOTE_USER to
bob)
|
|
v
mod_headers (sets some HTTP request header to the value of REMOTE_USER)
|
|
v
mod_proxy (forwards the modified request via HTTP internally)
|
|
v
PLT web server (accesses the user name from the header and runs app)

My question is whether the PLT web server can handle something like
this.
