Accepted CAs is/should be a property of your *operating system*, not any particular software. Anyhow, restricting this further just makes it even more unusable. Already there is only 1 or 2 CAs that will provide a gratis certificate for personal/small users. If you only allow high-class CAs, I imagine that will restrict "no key in the URI" aliases to those who will fork over a lot of money. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Windows Azure Live!
