One issue that we see is that we make heavy use of credential  
delegation. There's no way currently with cosign for an application to  
specify "User must have delegated credentials", and to request  
username/password reauthentication if the automated mechanisms don't  
delegate credentials. This was the main reason why we disallowed  
Safari, for example.

Every so often, I do think about implementing a mechanism (probably  
through a required factor) for applications to state that they require  
credentials, and to permit cosign.cgi to request manual  
reauthentication in these cases. I've never quite got around to doing  
so, though.

Cheers,

Simon.
