> Currently the network server has support for the following security mechanisms
> 1) USRIDONL (userid only),
> 2) USRIDPWD (clear text userid and password),
> 3) EUSRIDPWD (encrypted userid and password).
> Thus the #3 encrypted userid and password security mechanism is secure with respect to the userid/password sent across the wire. Currently there is no way to setup the network server to ensure that it accepts connections coming in at a certain security mechanism. It seems reasonable & useful to have a server want to accept connections from clients with a particular security mechanism (e.g lets say encrypted userid/password and reject usridpwd ie clear text userid and password)
> This jira will add support for this by adding a property to enable the server to be able to accept connections from clients with a certain security mechanism.
> --------------------
> I actually couldnt find if a rank was given to the security mechanisms in the drda spec. If it were so, then maybe a property for setting the minimum security mechanism accepted by the server would be appropriate.
