OK... about the only times you need a custom authentication type are: a) you need to support a new authentication protocol b) you need to interact with another authentication server (e.g. ntlm_auth) If neither matches your systems, I'd think carefully about using Auth-Type. It's probably the wrong solution to the problem. > Knowing that Auth-Type is likely to disappear may not be good news > for our forseen implementation. The functionality won't go away, that's definite. However, it may be more difficult to use, for the simple reason that so many people get it wrong.
