SM> I don't understand the question, and/or the need for it. When interactive, you should be asked if you want to accept a SSL certificate unless your function pre-approves it. So the default interactively is 'maybe-ask. The other question is, if the user doesn't answer in 30 seconds, can we take that as a "no" answer? I think the answer is "no, just wait for it." When non-interactive, you can't be asked. So the default there can be 'maybe-ask (what I describe in my question, and make it fail gracefully) or 'maybe-reject (unless pre-approved, reject). It sounds like no one wants 'maybe-ask non-interactively. Ted
