Re: Passwords for Remote Access 

At Dartmouth we do as Tony described for Columbia.  However, this is not
always possible.  It depends on how the provider has set up access to the
product. Sometimes this solution cannot be made to work, and in those
cases where it does, it creates something that has to be maintained--which
can become a headache if a large number of products depend on this
solution.
