<div><font face="Arial" size="2">We are investigating Sun's Access Manager to front
end our campus services that require authentication. They have a proxy solution
for servers that "cannot be touched" - but in order to make this work, the proxy
has to pass the userID and password to the end device using the appropriate
method, e.g. post,http headers, etc. The only way to do this is to lookup the
password, but this is not really possible in LDAP because of the oneway
encryption.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">A simple and effective solution, would be to change
everyone's password in CallManager to the same password, or shared secret in
this case, so the proxy solution would pass the same password every
time.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I'm not to concerned about this since our AM team
says it's secure and there are many example of this being done.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">My one concern is what about other applications
that use the callmanager userID and password that may not be able to be front
ended with this proxy? </font></div>

would see what people think.</font></div>
