Here is the thing:

brower ---> unprivileigied web app  ---> LDAP directory

For password authentications, no problem: the web app just hands the
password to the LDAP directory and get an authenticated BIND on behalf
of the user. Now the question is how to reproduce that with certificate
authentication?

The idea is to implement a new authenication method (through an SASL
plugin): the LDAP directory would send a popChallengeResponse, and the
brower could answer it (javascript code). The answer goes back to the
LDAP directory, and here you are.
