There's a difference between questioning the accuracy of the stated reqirement and suggesting that he not comply with it. Why not simply ask the OP for the exact requirement imposed by management?

Experience. Specifically experience that has included being down stream of multiple telephone games. Person A tells person B that they require /encryption/. Then person B tells person C that /TLS/ is required. — Person B innocently substituted "TLS" in place of "encryption" thinking that it was the only way to meet the requirement. — So person C's working understanding is that /TLS/ specifically is required when that is not the case. Person A might be perfectly satisfied with an IPsec VPN. So experience has taught me to /politely/ inquire if the strict requirement is for /TLS/ -or- /encryption/. It may seem like a subtle difference. But the difference has technical ramifications. -- Grant. . . . unix || die ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
