<p>Because Kanidm is one of the keys to a secure network, and insecure connections to them are not best
practice.</p>
<p>Please refer to <a href="why_tls.html">Why TLS?</a> for a longer explanation.</p>
<h2 id="why-so-many-crabs"><a class="header" href="#why-so-many-crabs">Why so many crabs?</a></h2>
<p>It's <a href="https://rustacean.net">a rust thing</a>.</p>
<h2 id="will-you-implement--insert-protocol-here-"><a class="header" href="#will-you-implement--insert-protocol-here-">Will you implement -insert protocol here-</a></h2>
<p>Probably, on an infinite time-scale! As long as it's not Kerberos. Or involves SSL or STARTTLS.
Please log an issue and start the discussion!</p>
<h2 id="why-do-the-crabs-have-knives"><a class="header" href="#why-do-the-crabs-have-knives">Why do the crabs have knives?</a></h2>
<p>Don't <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QaAKi0NFkA">ask</a>. They just
