G'day Yaron,
I will make 2 brief observations:
a) Max and I actually proposed some usability focused work around TLS
certs to the PKIX WG about 6 or 7 years ago, when PKIX was still going
strong, and we were told that usability is not the purvey of IETF, its
purely bits on the wire. So when did IETF morph from bits on the wire to
now include usability?
The IETF works on bits on the wire that are necessary to achieve
business goals. And those goals certainly include usability.
b) Getting a server certificate for a cloud server within seconds, and
with no manual intervention is possible today with a little scripting on
the server and an appropriate API from one of the existing CAs. If your
current provider cannot do that for you, then I suggest you shop around
a little.
I tried that and failed, I guess I should try some more. But anyway, as
a customer I would like a standard interface so that this "little
scripting" doesn't lock me into a single vendor.
Regards,
_Scott
