--- Comment #7 from Kyle M Hall <kyle at bywatersolutions.com> ---
I signed off on this patch because if works. However, I'm wondering if this
should be configurable ( username, barcode, or both ).

Here is my specific example, and a shameless plug. I'm the author of Libki, a
kiosk management system. It supports SIP2 for user authentication. When a
patron attempts to log in, Libki makes a SIP request for the user, if it comes
back positive, it creates the account in Libki ( if it didn't already exists ).
Each patron has an allotment of minutes they can use per day.

With this patch, a clever person may realize he or she can login twice, once
with his or her cardnumber, and once with his or her user id ( assuming they
are not one and the same ).

I think it would be good to make this a setting in SIPconfig.xml. That way, a
library could run multiple instances of the SIP server with different settings.
One could be for cardnumber/userid ( for sip2 SCO ) and another could be for
userid only ( perhaps for Libki ).
