How do I configure Apache for HTTPS traffic distribution with client certificate verification on Windows?
To enable HTTPS with mutual authentication on Windows, first install Apache with OpenSSL and configure `httpd-ssl.conf` to point to your server certificate and key. Then generate a client certificate using OpenSSL, and set `SSLCACertificateFile` to the client certificate path, along with `SSLVerifyClient require` and `SSLVerifyDepth 10`. Restart Apache and install the client `.p12` file on the client machine. This setup ensures only clients with valid certificates can access the server.
