INTRODUCTION

pwmech is a client authentication mechanism for the support of username
and password authenticaton. The mechanism leverages the credentials stored
in the miCASA cache and does not prompt the user for credentials.

SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

The tokens that pwmech generates contain the user's username and password,
this mandates that the auth_token client utilize a secure channel when
transfering them to the ATS.
