Also, most of the PSM cert stuff seems to center around certs that
you've stored in the PSM repository. Our current implementation
guidelines require the user to maintain physical control of the cert (on
diskette now, but smart cards or something in the future). Would the
combination of PSM/NSS allow me to write a plug-in (or applet) that
prompts the user for the location of the cert and it's password? I
would need to do this when establishing the SSL session and of course
for signing.
