Phillip - show me the arguments against - other than the fact that policy is against it. For all I care, we can make NTLM authentication mandatory as this does not have the drawbacks that Digest does. Or otherwise make SSL mandatory. Digest authentication has ramifications for a server that are UNACCEPTABLE in the real world. I am talking about 5 million users of our product here - not one or two! I am talking about global 2000 companies! I am talking about REAL objections that we face EVERY DAY at our customers! This is not some academic discussion - this is the real world! --Dylan
