Status: U Bob, you can forward this if you like to any appropriate newsgroups (but only if it hasn't already been mentioned). If it isn't entirely clear, let me know. According to Netscape's press release of 12/10/97, their new Mission Control software solution includes an LDAP directory server and a certificate server. That certificate server boasts an interesting new feature: the ability for the server to generate not just certs but also the keys, and install them on remotely managed browsers. They are positioning this as a feature for organizations that want to use keys but don't want to lose access to corporate data. -pl --- end forwarded text ----------------- Robert Hettinga (rah@shipwright.com), Philodox e$, 44 Farquhar Street, Boston, MA 02131 USA "... however it may deserve respect for its usefulness and antiquity, [predicting the end of the world] has not been found agreeable to experience." -- Edward Gibbon, 'Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire' The e$ Home Page: http://www.shipwright.com/ Ask me about FC98 in Anguilla!: <http://www.fc98.ai/>
