SIP2 Authentication

[advation]

Is there a way to add a user/password to allow authentication to a SIP2 service?

The SIP2 protocol supports authentication, but it has to be turned on in the server. The module supports the protocol calls although I don't have a server that requires authentication to test against.
It is possible to write in any authentication you need (LDAP, OAUTH, SAML, etc) into your script then make the SIP2 calls only if the user is able to authenticate. I've done exactly that inside Drupal, and in another CMS at my library.

Figured out the Authentication. rewrote a bit since the password and username will be the same.

/* Login Variables /
public $UIDalgorithm = 0; / 0 = unencrypted, default /
public $PWDalgorithm = 0; / undefined in documentation /
public $sipLogin = 'username';
public $sipPassword = 'password';
public $scLocation = ''; / Location Code */
public $sipVendorProfile = 'Envisionware'; /*Envisionware, Comprise, 3M, ITG */

function msgLogin() 
{
    /* Login (93) - untested */
    $this->_newMessage('93');
    $this->_addFixedOption($this->UIDalgorithm, 1);
    $this->_addFixedOption($this->PWDalgorithm, 1);
    $this->_addVarOption('CN',$this->sipLogin);
    $this->_addVarOption('CO',$this->sipPassword);
    $this->_addVarOption('CP',$this->scLocation, true);
    $this->_addVarOption('VP',$this->sipVendorProfile, true);
return $this->_returnMessage();

}

Then something like this
$login_response = $mysip->get_message($mysip->msgLogin());
and it works.
