Re: Certificate Authority

[Jason Haar]

I feel everyone is missing the point.

What do I do as a company when I want to "acquire" 1,000's of user certs so
that my users can (e.g.)  use IPSec VPN solutions over the Internet to
access corporate services?

I don't _need_ a major CA to be guaranteeing the validity - I need to be the
CA!

Other commercial outfits are producing CAs (Microsoft come to mind - anyone
running Active Directory!?!?!?), so why cannot there be an Opensource one?!?!?

[yes, there are, I know - I'm just trying to impress that this issue isn't as
black-and-white as is being said]
