Is there any way to create an ACL rule which will match if a client
certificate was used on the connection or not?

This is usually not done via ACLs.

Basically you define an appropriate authz-regexp to map the subject DN of the
cert (part of authc-DN) to an LDAP entry DN (authz-DN).
Then your client has to send a SASL bind request with mechanism EXTERNAL.

Ciao, Michael.

Unfortunately I'm not using SASL, I'm doing simple binds.
