Hi Amy!

That sort of information is generally considered to be a security violation.  
If someone is probing your system, being told that they got the ID right and 
all they have left is to figure out the password is a big help.

I'm afraid that unhelpful messages are best for unverified clients.

Subject: Ez proxy -deliver message saying why not authenticated

Hello! 

I just thought I would try and ask here since I haven't found anything 
elsewhere: has anyone written a script that delivers a more nuanced error 
message when using Ez proxy? For example:

User name is right password is wrong
Password is expired
Username locked out 

Just curious!

Amy
