Some background: the Debian Single Signon system (currently) uses
client-side certificates to identify users in order to store their
subscription and other preferences. Lots of folks have complained
about the browser UIs for this feature so it is likely that the
current client-side certificate based SSO will be replaced by some
other system. At the same time, other Debian services that use the
current SSO have worked around the browser UI issues by only asking
for the client-side certificate on a special login URL and setting a
session cookie on successful login.
