Hi, Thomas.

>Attempting to understand the thinking of the corporate firewall gods is difficult! In fact, individuals who control corporate computers in anyway seem to make things difficult for everyone else. Experience may prove otherwise! :)

I agree completely. Security specialist at most big corporations are full of cotradictions. Quite recently I was in a meeting with some of them and one of the guys told me -with a serious face- that Windows basic authentication was more secure than integrated auhentication.

As usual, at this organizations you are so restricted for doing your work that you start asking around and it takes a week or so to have username and passwords with admin rights from every major service... and the regular users aways have the password post-it syndrome...
