My appologies for the speed of my responce.

I found a great article published by Apple about their AppleShare IP Print 
Server Security Protocol. The article discusses the methods used and shows 
examples of the client-server authentication proceedures step-by-step.

The only thing that is omitted is the methods by wich the challenges are 
encoded, however I suppose that changes depending on the UAM selected for 
authentication.

Here's the URL:

I am excited to hear you are interested in added this to ppr.

Regards,
Ken Jacobson
