Speaking for Ambrosia (which is not very relevant, but...), currently PEM files are used, but PKCS#12 files (e.g. pkx) sure are convenient. :) It is a standard format by the way, not a Microsoft-ism, and OpenSSL has supported it since forever. I plan to support both methods. And that will go for Psi too, when specifying a client cert (something I don't think you mentioned in either thread?). -Justin
