Because fellow authors rarely have client certificates that I know I can rely on, it is easier to use http basic authentication anyway, so I never tried to get client certs to work with Acrobat shared reviews.  Maybe some day when pki technology becomes widespread in the scientific community, it will make sense to revisit the question.

== Problem 2: Adobe Reader 8 on the Mac will not connect to my webdav server over ssl ==
