How to prompt user for password

2006-04-02 Thread michael Dorrian
I am not talking about the pem pass phrase here. I want a last line of authentication from the client. I want the server to have a list of common names of clients it trusts. With these client names also a client password will be stored on the server side. At runtime the server asks for this passwor

I can set the Cisco certificate to authenticate to the W2K domain. That's reasonably simple. Deciding what to do about things after that gets a little interesting but that's another topic... :-) The anonymous connection requirements for expired passwords I understand but surely that's just a case

The Cisco also needs to be exempted from the "authenticated domain members" rule, unless you can set its identifying certificate up as authenticatable to the domain. (You are authenticating against the Windows 2000 domain, correct?) There are known issues with restricting access to known machines

Re: invalid x500UniqueIdentifier bitstring in openssl

I'm fairly sure the BITSTRING datatype for signatures was chosen by the PKCS working group, which at the time was a mostly self-selected group of experts organized by RSA. It certainly wasn't chosen by IETF. The X509v3 extension format was chosen by the X.509 group of ITU/ISO. Hindsight's 20/2

- Signatures, uniqueIdentifiers etc. were not created by PKIX as far as I remember. It may be that they the same who are creating an inflation of data encapsulated in octet strings in PKIX are probably the same people. If they didn't not understand ASN.1 20 years ago and did not make prog
