What about self-signed client certificates. Thats a way you can
control which user/client can connect.  Even if its freshly downloaded
or modified.
I'm not a friend of having this the standard behavior, but it can be a
solution.
And you have to have an option on client and server to configure your
Certificate Authority.

I agree with hartmut to force the encryption of the client-server
connection. These user should not have the option to decide to run
tryton unencrypted.

I fully agree.
But there are a lot of webpages around with having a wrong certificate
and the users are getting used to it to ignore these failures.

Additionally you can authenticate a user with such a certificate, but
for this discussion its out of scope. Single Sign On with kerberos
would be nice, too ;-)
