Interesting post, kontro! So we have several alternatives. If the project goes down the drain (as it seems to), I think as a last effort we should document the alternatives which current Adito/ALS users have.
Anyways, perhaps 3sp did the right thing when they sold themselves to Barracuda Networks - they can now relax and concentrate on milking money from their customers ;). Somehow I have a feeling they won't be aggressively developing the SSL-Explorer codebase now that it's as closed as it can be. I don't think 3sp benefited much from SSL-Explorer being OSS, besides good publicity and easier marketing. Also, the code that Adito / ALS community has provided (LDAP, RADIUS, clientcert and pam auth) would have just sabotaged 3sp' "Enterprise" sales. > Good mail from Samuli.
