FYI.. I recently upgraded my server from the 7085 build to the latest on the build server (7292). I generated a cert. and pointed at the public key (question.. does it want an explicit path to the file or just the directory where the file resides??). With the 7085 client, I still did not see it listed. But once I loaded the 7263 Windows client (taken from Novell's shipping OES build), it showed it in the drop down list box.
I'm still somewhat confused on how you use this. Even Novell's own documentation on OES says almost nothing about it (other than what is listed in this thread). -- ----- Matt Weisberg Weisberg Consulting, Inc.
