why don't you (Merit) use certificates and be done with it.
Based on the known user identification, his/her access and service rights
would be
allocated and "opened". This would remove significant overhead (i.e.,
administration)
and provide the basis for "bandwidth on demand" scenarios in the future.
BTW, I found your comment RE "public access" a validation of my
observations, as well. Kind'a like the european library model: only
educated persons can read; ergo only university alumni should have access
to the meaty stuff.
Here at EXPRESSion, free access is just that. The only "constraint" is a
signed AUP/COU agreement.
That said, I worry about issues of privacy and security - in that order.
(If you solve the former, you have solved most issues of the latter)
