Hi Bill,

One of the issues with mTLS is the PKI burden on customers. There also is not a 
good way to convey both device and user  in mTLS (e.g. you can't have 
independent authentications of user and device within the single mTLS 
exchange).  Most of the customers we have spoken with have a preference to have 
both.

I had initially been thinking that it would be good to support both web Auth 
and mutual TLS, but the more I talk with people about it, the more it looks 
like we should just do TLS.  So in the absence of a really compelling argument 
for supporting both, along with all of the future overhead it entails, my 
current position is mutual TLS only.
