The checkboxes you're implicating here are the ceremonial kind. (I do security in the financial infrastructure space, for whatever that's worth).

I suppose we'll agree to disagree (RegSCI in this case). Happy to grab a beer if you want to lecture me on how I'm wrong, I try to be open minded.

Whether it's ceremony or not, I have to check the box or face harsh regulatory penalties.

Happy to do this over beer, but I'm not sure I understand which of the SCI rules would determine which CA you use.

I'm a little amused (not at you, but at the absurdity of the whole process) that we're talking about CA selection for products that almost definitely can't even properly quote and unquote a FIX field separator from user input.
