Okay, I had a nice chat with a couple of guys from ITECS about UnWRAP and the mess of policy issues surrounding authentication at a university.

For now, UnWRAP will keep running (I will probably have to implement a few more account checks due to FERPA issues), *but* I will not be granting anyone secret keys to actually use the service in their applications. In addition, I would advise everyone against grabbing the source and running it on one's own Web space, because there are FERPA- and data-protection-related liabilities that could get you, ITECS, or both in trouble if you screw anything up.

Once ITECS and OIT Security and Compliance get back to me, I have no idea what will happen. Hopefully, something like UnWRAP will be available in the future, but it will have to be much more strongly regulated. Thanks for all your feedback and testing, though.

Thanks,
