Hi all.
I have questions regarding SSHv2 support for X.509 certificates. I see this is a reoccurring question in the archive, but I?d like an update if anyone can find the time.
I have read in the "draft-ietf-secsh-architecture-16.txt", expiring on
Does this mean, that if I set up an SSHv2 server that is capable of doing mutual authentication with X.509, only a few specific SSH clients will be able to authenticate in this way?
I?m not looking for a list of vendors, but wondering if this type of setup is even close to a ?standard? yet or not. (I know the Internet Drafts are not standards, but it is the closest thing for SSH now?)
Thank you for you time.

P.S. ? For anyone who?s interested:
Ideally, I?d like to have clients on an open network with an X.509 certificate installed. This certificate will be used for HTTPS and SSH to different servers on my network. Username/passwords would be supplied as well (at least for SSH) and this would be linked to the public key to provide strong authentication. Comments?
