Just to clarify - on the Xymon server side it's Apache that handles the
client authentication, and there are many docs describing that. Xymon
itself is not involved in the authentication or encryption.

I also found that the xymoncgi handler sends back to the client any
client-local configuration that it finds, so it isn't just a one way street.
