In order to authenticate, the user can either login with a standard username/password, or submit a client-side x509 certificate.

I have a database, and i want to force a restore over top of it.
I check the option:
Overwrite the existing database (WITH REPLACE)
But, as expected, SSMS is unable to overwrite the existing database.

Is this an oversight by the designers of Teredo…

I'm supposed to setup a vpn server on our linux machine for some of our employees who travel a lot.
