Hi, One of the features that would be good would be the abllity to intagrate with NSS. Fedora / RedHat Directory server etc. I think looking at mod_nss and the already existing pam, pam_pkcs11 etc would really expand overall enterprise usage, at least for my use. I think that usage of PAM, NSS, kerberos would provide a good baseline for the largest set of use cases. Just my thoughts.
