You also need to say what type of authentications are being used (simply passwords, encrypted logons, certificates as well, etc.). Are you playing with authorisation, because you have to (it's publicly exposed), or because you want to (for experimenting purpose)?

I read messages from the public lists. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
