Re: [ebxmlms-develop] Client certificate authentication

RE: [ebxmlms-develop] Client certificate authenticationNope. Currently, =
Hermes does not support any HTTP level authentication.
However, Hermes supports authentication in SMTP. :-)

So, we think we can add HTTP authentication. The question is: which =
level should Hermes support. Basic client authentication is simpler, but =
client certificate authentication definitely is the most secure method. =
But this involves more complicated development work as well as set up =
work when deploying Hermes (specifying certificates, alias, password, =
etc.).

What do you guys think?
