We are thinking about using Nortel's Entrust in a web
application that would use Microsoft's ISAPI and IIS web
server. But how well does Entrust work with ISAPI?
Does anyone have experience with calling the Entrust 
toolkit APIs from an ISAPI filter?

If we build the web app using a different API set than
Entrust's, how interoperable are X.509 certificates generated
by Nortel's Entrust CA product with applications developed on
a security framework like Microsoft's CryptoAPI?  Are there
any major caveats with "mixing and matching" security products
of different vendors like Entrust and Microsoft?

Thanks!
