::So you actually patching Qt to support engine? And provide the certificate from manual configuration?

Qt needs to be patched anyway. Previously, in KDE3.5 kssl talked directly to OpenSSL. Now, QtSSL does that and kssl is hands off. So Qt needs to work with client certificates first.

Look at my previously posted patch for 3.5

The certificate is still selected through a popup list on the UI, very much like FireFox, IE and previous KDE. In case there is only one applicable certificate, it can be autoselected, exactly like IE does.

It is a very valid solution for smartcard, and other pkcs11 token uses.

My last patch did not modify the existing UI in any way. In fact, i made it as unobtrusive as humanly possible so it can be painlessly applied without breaking anything, and i intend to do the same in KDE/Qt trunk.

I will stop wasting time commenting here and just post a patch when (if ever) its ready, that worked better with the last version. Unfortunately i dont have much free time to dedicate to this in next coming weeks.
