I don't really need to know the passwords though.... The first connection I would know the password that was used to logon to the UCM (and I would remember it) and subsequent TCP connections I would check passwords and they would have to be the same or I would enlist another UCM. If there is any useable standardised form of TCP socket security/encryption available I could offer the same.
For my 'PS' approach ... I dont actually need to know the passwords but I do need to know the level of the access that was granted , and hence my question as to whether the UCM can advise me of this (?). This is so I could ensure that passwords that have lesser levels can't send commands above their level. I would logon to the UCM at the highest level of the connected clients. This would require a few logon tests to validate each password and also to establish which was the highest level.
Alternatively I could create a set of my own passwords just for users (eg iPhone clients) that went via my proxy device. They might be the same as the Comfort passwords but they could be different and mapped by some configuration (web page/telnet) to a suitable Comfort UCM password.
It would be much better if this was a Cytech implemented feature within the Ethernet UCM of course.
