     Quick question - could someone advise......
     
     How can a large organisation, who are concerned for internal security, 
     implement an internal Certifying Authority for issuing (x.509?) 
     Certificates to their internal users? This is for a large and secure 
     Intranet Web project.
     
     I believe that Netscape's Commerce Server will support the main 
     functionality such as encryption, authentication and digital signatures but 
     the connection and creation of a CA is the confusing part on this.
     
     Thanks in advance
