Hi,

[I posted this to the DOTNET-CLR list a few days ago and received no replies]

Does anyone know how to authenticate a user using just a certificate in a Winform based
application? I know that ASP.NET suports certificate based authentication but I 
believe that IIS
is performing the mapping between certs and users ids.

What I am trying to do here is see how I can allow a user to logon to my winform app 
by pointing
(as it were) at a cert instead of entering a user id and password. I have my reasons 
why. I know
how to encrypt and sign using a cert just not authenticate.

Any suggestions?

Paul
