This is only the first hurdle. I can access the site using Konqueror by 
setting the user agent to be IE5 on Windows, but to do anything serious 
on the site requires the use of PKI certificates.

The implementation of the PKI certificates is only supported on Windows.

I have already suggested that the user agent block be removed and that 
SSL is fully supported as well for all transactions.

I would like to be able to suggest an alternative open PKI system that 
would work accross browsers and operating systems, but I do not know 
enough about the options to make an informed suggestion.
