The way that it originally worked. was this. The user would re-enter their
login name and password to "E-Sign" in a module. We would check this
against AD via CFLDAP and if it was valid the module would be "Signed" The
original paper process required a supervisor's signature for approval.

The enterprise is implementing a mandatory PIV card system which does away
with the user entering a password. Instead they enter a PIN number, this is
never passed to AD it only serves to initialize the PIV card. The Kerberos
system generates a password which is changed on a regular basis. The end
user never knows what the password is, only the PIN number.
