hi list,

a small problem developing over here over the usage of ssh, pgp and x.509
certs

we have a requirement that says we setup a ssh ftp server ( scp ) that will
store the files dropped in the scp server with a ssh cert of userid of say
"someuser" to be encrypted with the pgp key of "someuser" using disk
encryption software ( pgp disk, freeware, pgpi.org ) who will be auth using
x.509 cert for the userid "someuser" over lapd interface of active directory
and the user will require to have to auth himself  only once in this whole
scheme.

any possible suggestions / docs will be helpful

right now we are on linux but soon we plan to move this setup to windows
2000 :&


x.509 is already established so cannot go away and ssh and pgp have also
been made necessary because of the situation

will the management of the users in these three different systems ( ssh, pgp
and x.509 ) consolidated so that they can use the same key for all the three
purposes ?

also x.509 and pgp are already being used for email encryption and disk
storage respectively so we already have the x.509 and pgp keys ( we don't
want to add ssh certs to the mess unless necessary )

Thank you in advance

Adi
