i think we have a special situation here. i could answer these
questions with `yes' and `kind of', though i figure you think you
asked just one question.
we will sell our product and do not need anything for ourselves.
our customers are going to need certificates, and we are trying
to find out what we can do beforehand for them. our customers
will run our application which will be both client and server.
the used protocols will be IIOP over SSL or plain IIOP (but then
of course without encryption, so this case is not of interest).
we are not planning to issue certificates by ourselves or make
our customers issue anything.
