Hello once again,

wouldn´t it be better as well as easier to use the centralized scheme instead
using the basic authentication scheme:

In Draft draft-ietf-pkix-ipki3cmp-08.txt Certificate Management Protocols the
basic authentication scheme MUST be used. So why not using the easier
centralized scheme.

Thanks for answering,
Stefan
