    Hi All,

    Any experience with providing certificate services to Linux and Mac workstations?  Specifically, I want to issue user certificates based on the users Active Directory account, but want to ensure that the private key is not exportable, so that the certificate cannot be moved to a different machine.

    Obviously the Web Enrollment pages are not an option as these use ActiveX controls.  So I'm assuming this will have to be a combination of command line utilities and/or mmc functions.

    This will be used for VPN authentication, hence the requirement to ensure that only validated computers can be used to access our network over the VPN.

    Any observations, comments, tips, tricks and/or instructions gratefully received!!

    Tks & Rgds
