We went looking at what they had in the local stores this afternoon so she could get a rough idea of what was out there in this market - and she shot down anything larger than what she already has...
I've wondered this myself, but more generically than just Ciscos and ASAs.
I did this with Barracudas when I demo'ed them a few years ago. The Barracuda each had their own self signed cert, and you imported their public key portion into the remote side for authentication.
I'm not sure how it would work if both sides are using the same wildcard cert - I would think you would loose a large part of the security.
Tell them you are unable to work on any machines in that environment as an IT Professional as this violates legalities. Also as a MS partner you are required to turn them in for an audit.
Thanks guys for all the help! I'm going to fix this...except I somehow lost access to the vSphere lab...I opened a helpdesk request but likely it'll be tomorrow before I can get access again. The helpdesk here, internally, is not particularly quick...
I spoke to Priscilla (by email) today in fact. I can do a hand-off with you to her if you'd like. They shouldn't have just closed the case without any interaction.
@Reid-Cooper I use it on my MAC terminal and Windows Putty, very nice and helps me to work on windows Putty without much of an eye strain as the default settings in putty, I find it difficult!
