I'm away from my desk, so I'm working from memory, but I think this
predates the smart-proxy-auth system that came in later for validating
things like ENC requests from valid proxies. The main issue there is that
the proxy-auth relies on validating the names in the SSL certificate -
templates usually aren't acquired over https, so this wouldn't work here.
It might be possible to adapt / re-use some of those ideas though - I do
agree that it's non-intuitive compared to how ENC/reports works.
