Re: [kmip] Groups - Username and Password Credential proposal(kmip-spec-1.0-cd-08-Password-Credential.pdf) uploaded

[Matt Ball <Matthew.Ball@Sun.COM>]

I had originally put some rationale into the proposal, but removed it to
avoid cluttering the specification with too many non-normative
statements.  That said, I'd be happy to add some clarification as to how
the server should handle the Username and Password Credential Type that
do not include a Password.  Maybe something like this:

"The server MAY accept a Username and Password Credential that lacks a
Password if the server is configured to use the authorization of the
secure transport in place of the missing Password."

Thoughts from the group?

Cheers,
-Matt
