1) an idea: they send their credentials to you ws
if okay, you generate a really long (say, 256 characters) random string you update their user record, and put that string into a field e.g. authkey you send that string back to them they then send that string to the report for auth, which checks the db for that string 2) SSL is probably way, way better!
