Any chance that this extension is going to be updated to be compatible with MW 1.27+

Debugging the issue with:

 $pageDesc=$page->getDescription();
 if (gettype($pageDesc)!="string") {
   wfErrorLog( "page description is: ".$pageDesc.":".gettype($pageDesc)."\n", '/tmp/wfWikiDebug.log' );
 } else {
   $groups[$group][(string)$pageDesc] = array(
   $page->getPageTitle(),
   $page->isRestricted(),
   $page->isCached()
 );

shows:

page description is: SSL-Client-Authentifizierung aktivieren:object

so we need to modify getDescripton to return a string an not an object:

To use this extension, SSL standard variables are needed on the Web server. I is easy for Apache, but I didn’t find a equivalent for nginx, so I created this interface layer on https://github.com/Seb35/nginx-ssl-variables. It adds the variables needed for this extension (SSL_CLIENT_*) and all other variables which can be accessed thanks to nginx + Lua-OpenSSL.
