Hi,
Interesting question.
I'm planning to use the same piece of software on multiple devices : at
home on my main station, at work.
An other idea is to share that piece of software with family (in order
to have a unique address book) : some localhost, some over the wire...
and TLS will be mandatory...
I would prefer to avoid to many different settings on each device.
At work, I don't really trust admin, but I can't really keep them out
(they are root).
TLS is not mandatory, but I work a future idea that I would like to
implement.
I would like to use localhost for me (in order to test modification and
fast access) and set other other devices over the wire.
Maybe I should drop TLS for localhost connection.
I was surprised about my issue with localhost (sometimes it works,
sometimes not).
I will try to investigate a bit more on my certificate.
I know that if I allow clear transmission (for localhost), one day I
will configure access to that server for test purpose. Obviously, I will
forgot to change that after the test.
Thanks a lot for previous messages, it helps me
Regards
Serge

Why use TLS in the first place if nothing ever goes over the wire? Is there
anything running on your workstation you do not trust so you need to
specifically protect your address book from it (rather than getting rid of it
completely)?
