it's easy enough to implement thirdparty authentication; no password goes
out on the net and the translator never has your password. credit goes to
bill doster who first designed this at the ifs project.
This is described in CITI tech report 92-1, "Third-Party Authentication in
the Institutional File System," by Bill Doster and Jim Rees.
Bruce modestly neglected to mention that he worked on the implementation.
