Hi,

First, thank you Samuli, for all that work you have done to manage 
Adito/ALS and keep it as a free project.

Same for us : The value in Adito/ALS stays in its "client free" 
solution. The signed pre-configured java applet is the main reason why 
int the past we chose sslExplorer and migrated to Adito/ALS.
