Thanks very much,
I am sorry could you please tell me where exactely it is written that
setting up a certificate server and issuing certificates for clients is
included in the price of the OS?
I am really sorry to bother you again but my organisation would like to
setup such an architecture but I have to give information about the costs
Thanks again
Eric
