Does the TSM client send the password in clear text ??!

Hello,

Does the TSM client send the password in cleartext?

Thanks,
Keith

I don't think so, I think it works like Kerberos, where you connect to the server, 
agree on some hash, then apply that hash to your password, sending only the hashed 
text as your password.

Of course, if it's BASE64 encoded or similar, it may as well be clear text...
