Bug 16610 changed the behaviour of patron info requests and responses -
previously if the password field was empty in the request, we returned password
ok. Many sip clients assume that passing an empty pwd field means "I'm not
validating a password - I just want to know patron is valid" and are failing
because of the change in behaviour.

As both scenarios are valid I suggest adding a parameter to the sip config to
allow empty password fields to be treated as previously. To my knowledge this
is only an issue in the patron info response.
