Better mark set of isc_add/modify/delete_user() functions deprecated. That's the only place where subj is used.

  Taking into account that proper SRP routines for adding a new user requires client side to send to server the verifier only, I have a feeling that on contrary: this API should be reviewed and user management using SQL should be disabled unless connection is encrypted.   Currently the SQL sent via unencrypted connection allows to sniff the password of the new user and to use it for connections while having of verifier don't allow that (though still let decrypt and see the user's traffic).


I doubt we need any security related changes for people that use unencrypted connection. If one connects unencrypted that means that person does not care about security.
