User Name is a UTF-8 encoded string and can be used by the server for authentication, and authorization. > 3.1.3.5 Password > If the Password Flag is set to 1, this is the next field in the payload.,Password is a UTF-8 encoded string and can be used by the server for authentication of the client > This allows implementer s to display these fields on admin screens but prevents them from being from carrying binary tokens. > We don't need to change the wire format to encode this if the binary field is prefixed with a 2 byte length. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
