Can/Should this >certificiate be used in place of the one apparently installed with CVSNT? No idea. I haven't got IIS6. If you want to use it 'properly' you need a proper certificate from a CA, such as cacert (or verisign if you're rich) - you can then use strict checking on the clients to help security. The default cert works just fine against passive attacks though. >Q: Does the WinCVS GUI client support SSL connections? No. >Q: If WinCVS does not support SSL connections, is there a GUI that does? AFAIK no. Tony
