Michal Zerola commented on QPID-3914:
-------------------------------------
One of the reason of extending the client for certificate options was to make
it convenient for users to provide certificates on the command line to the
application + be able to transfer application to another machine with
certificates and be able to execute it without any administration needed. This
is what one can easily do with Linux client.
I am not sure if you have studied the patch, but the client's private key can
be provided to the application without any modification of the machine's store.
The public key of the server where client attempts to connect has to be in the
Trusted Root store in order to accept the connection. Currently, with the
patch, during the connection hand-shaking, the window is popped up (the same
way as when one adds certificate to the store in a Windows traditional way) and
the user can decide whether to import the certificate or not. If you are aware
of any other way how to provide the public key to the client from the
filesystem, please let me know.
I understand your opinion, therefore I have proposed the 2 options above.
