I am at this minute listening to a tape of a CPRS 26 Training call and I think 
this was disabled or modified because of the problem they were having with a 
doctor signing on to a CPRS session and then another person going to the same 
workstation later and being signed in as the doctor who originally opened 
CPRS.  I will try to find out exactly what was done. I got the impression 
that something was done even before 26 to stop this from happening.

any subsequent login will be automatically authenticated as that user.
It is simply not a robust solution and there are very few environments
where it can be considered safe.

It tracks it via IP which is why it has to be disabled when using
Terminal Services since all users are logged into a multi-session
instance from the same IP (ie terminal/citrix server)

So if you login via RPC from IP 192.168.0.2, it'll track that so that
any future logins just "let you in".  I don't think it was meant to be
secure by any stretch of the imagination.  That process with be
susceptible to many methods of intrusion including man-in-the-middle and
impersonation.

I found the documentation on how to control from a system point of view
using the fields in file 200 and the Kernel Parameters file.  I did not
find
anything about how to control this from a programmer perspective.  Is
there
documentation on that issue?
