It doesn't. And unless it's integrated with the protocol to the point
where it *absolutely* necessary, I think I'd prefer it to remain that
way — at least for OpenConnect *itself*.

But if this is a setup that people need to use, we should definitely
work out how to integrate it with an existing SCEP client.
