For a while I’ve been planning to sit down and hack the Openvpn CA scripts for internal SSL use. One of the bits holding me up was finding some decent information on subjectAltName for VHost situations.
The CAcert Wiki has all the of information one would need, particularly a Interoperability Test table with comparisons of the various methods against different browsers. The also have some script code.

I’ve been looking for a good system for integrating mobile workers and seperate into a central file storage system. One option I’ve been considering is subversion/webdrive, combined with something like ViceVersa for the smart power users so they can keep a local copy. Another is iFolder, which with its subscription folders since like a very interest method for streaming file collections to users.
Currently unless you want to buy Novell Open Enterprise Server, you have to use Simple Server. Unfortunately it seems that Simple Server is only good for a private network.
Apache: Enterprise Server runs behind apache using the apache module mod_mono. Simple Server has it’s own embedded http server (which by the way doesn’t currently support SSL). You are not going to get the same performance or load handling using Simple Server.
Not quite a flexible as WebDav+SSL for external clients. Still most mobile workstations should in most cases have VPN access.
The Ubuntu Wiki has a useful guide for building the package from source, which probably applies equally well to Debian.
