Are you using the AREA plug-in or just the old style cross reference? If you are using AREA you can enable SSL to encrypt (if your not using SSL it is just plain text across the network)....I am unsure about the non AREA authentication and any encryption it does

I would like to try and gain an understanding of the mechanics behind the Cross Ref Blank Password Windows NT login validation feature. Please note that I am not asking for an explanation of how to implement the feature (we've been using it for some time) but rather how it actually works - what goes on behind the scenes. Since we are talking about users' network login passwords, I feel obligated to be able ensure those same users that the security of said passwords is not being violated in some way through their use by Remedy, and until I fully understand how password validation is accomplished, I can't provide that assurance. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Jim. ____________________________________________________________________________ ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are" _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org ARSlist:"Where the Answers Are"
