Thanks for the reply. Actually, this already helps... but you are right, the security is another point we need to be concerned, as we need to find a way to share the web system authentication to the channel creation in APE server, or a simple sniffing could show how our page connects to APE and then logs in to particular channels without being authenticated in the main system.
Could we send more data to APE then to be processed? Let's say, like a hash for the authentication key plus something that APE could decode and verify?
