Apache 2.4 403 errors on SSL-Auth vhost

Question

I've worked with apache 2.2 for ages, and this is the first time I'm using 2.4. Which is giving me an headache.

My boss asked me to set up an SSL Auth system, using our internal CA. Now the problem here is, the vhosts and auth mechanism seems to work, but all URLs within the SSL Auth vhost retun 403 errors. Now I've made sure to add an 'Require all granted' directive to the vhost, and the apache logs aren't throwing any permission errors. So I'm out of my league here.

Maybe someone can see the part I'm missing :)? Configs below: (running apache 2.4 on CentOS 7, SELinux disabled for testing purposes)

Found the solution. It was an typo in the Rewrite rule.

 RewriteCond                     ${HTTPS} !=on

should have been

RewriteCond                     %{HTTPS} !=on
