I would like to use Client Certificates to authenticate users.  Does anyone know of a decent way to do that?  I would like to simply tie the public certificate to a registered user you could even just authenticate by checking the CN and try that to the DNN account.  Of course, you would have to trust the signer of the users certificate, but I don't see anything out there to enable something like that.  Right now, I just use IIS to require a client certificate and I trust the RootCA for the users.  Then they have to login to an account after that.  It works, but I figure since I am already using client certificates to connect to the site, it would be nice to use them to assign user rights as well.  Any ideas?
