CERTDIST Comments

Jim:

I have embedded comments in the attached copy of CERTDIST.

After reading and commenting, I wonder if a general signed directory
attribute mechanism would be preferable.  Such a mechanis would allow any
attribute to be signed by the user for posting in his directory entry.  I
am not sure how searches would work in the directory with such an attribute.

The directory entry could contain many attributes:
        sMIMEcapabilities
        emailAddress
        userCertificate
        whateverElse
        signedAttributes
                SIGNED ( sMIMEcapabilities )
                SIGNED ( whateverElse )

Does this generalization make sence?

Russ
