preventing client certs to be used by multiple users??
am 31.08.2005 23:49:01 von Conrad Friedrich
Hello,
Is there a way to prevent users (that got a client ssl-certificate (pkcs12)
for accessing my server) from giving their certs away to others and in that
way enabling "unwanted" users access to my site?
Or if there is no elegant solution, maybe someone knows how apache (or a log
analyzer etc.) can inform me if two different IPs have tried to connect
simultaneously using the same certificate?
Many thanks
Conrad Friedrich

The other replies pretty much says it all. If you're trying to prevent
people from sharing their access to your data then have them sign
some papers instead.
Certificates and login credentials just won't do that for you.
