[Kolab-devel] new convenience features (CA-CERT and client download)

[Martin Konold]

Hi,

I am considering to add the following new features to Kolab.

1. when bootstrapping the Kolab Server I also create a DER with the public 
certificate of the Certificate Authority. 
1.1 This file will be called 

	https://kolab.domain.tdl/certs/kolab.domain.tdl-ca.der

1.2 The users are asked to download this der file using their prefered web 
browser

1.3 The new certificate is imported in the certificate manager of the 
webbrowser. (I tested successfully with IE 6, Firefox and of course 
Konqueror) 

1.4 The web browser now accepts https connects without warnings

1.5 In addition imap and ldap clients e.g. can use the imported CA 
Certificates on the client to verify the server certificated when required

2. Add a new directory "clients" to Apache

2.1 /kolab/var/kolab/www/clients can then be used to centrally offer downloads 
of client software like OL Connector or rpms/deps for Kontact

Please provide me with some feedback before I will implement the new features.

Are there any other convenience features urgently missing?

Yours,
-- martin
