Mod_proxy and client certificate auth

Hi,

I'm trying to get mod_proxy to work as an SSL proxy using a client 
certificate on the proxy to connect to a backend IIS server that's set up 
to use any client certificate signed by my OpenSSL-based CA.  

If I use a browser with the same certificate bundled up as a PKCS12 
bundle, through the proxy, it all works, but what I really need is for 
Apache/mod_ssl to use a locally stored version of the cert/key to connect, 
then let the IIS server do its normal basic auth.  That's one single 
client cert/key for all externally connecting users (yes, I understand 
the ramifaction- it's not for user authentication,) not a per-user proxy 
cert.

Here's what I have in my Apache ssl.conf file:

RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"
CacheDisable *
SSLProxyEngine On
ProxyPass /app https://iisserver/app
ProxyPassReverse /app https://iisserver/app
SSLProxyMachineCertificatePath conf/cert
SSLEngine on

conf/cert contains user.pem, a .pem cert file with an RSA private key 
catenated to it.  I also have a hash link to the user.pem cert file.

Just in case, I've also added "export OPENSSL_ALLOW_PROXY_CERTS=1" to 
bin/envvars.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Paul
