[Opensim-dev] Problem with User server in grid mode retrieving User Profile

[Impalah]

Damn!!!

Then, is there another "clean" way to authenticate an user when using xmlrpc
calls? (like RemoteAdmin does).

The dirty trick of setting a "master" password in opensim.ini is quite...
well if I had a "commercial" grid the idea of delivering an unique password
to everyone who wants to use some services will make me sweat... :-(

Thanks for the quick response, Alan
