None of this is explained or discussed in the Documentation or Wiki sections
of smartcardservices.macosforge.org. More to the point, exactly which
certificates to use with Entourage is not detailed, which means every single
user or IT administrator must repeat the same work and experimentation to
get a system working.
It would be helpful if this information were in the site so it could
functionally replace this listserv as the repository for this kind of
information.
