   -- Big market for this.  Lots of contracts for systems require it these
      days.   You can't expect to sell to the government without it.

>VMS login console?

   -- Would be nice but not all that critical since VMS systems are usually
      in places with good physical security.  In the New x86 era, they are
      likely to be virtual systems and the virtual host can be trusted with
      some amount of authentication.  So not as big a deal, and harder to do.

>Login some web application residing on VMS?

   -- I don't know about this.  How big a deal is it, really?  And is it
      necessary to validate users with LDAP or kerberos as well as just
      checking the certificate?
