AW: gnugk and H.235?

Hi Michal and community

Thanks for your answer. 
I think i understand now, that H.235 defines different authentication
methods. 

If I get it right,
SimplePasswordAuth/SQLPasswordAuth/LDAPPasswordAuth/ExternalPasswordAuth
are not really secure, since they just encrypt the password to a MD5
hash which is sent over an unsecured channel over the network, means,
that everyone that can sniff/grap the MD5 password hash may just use it
to authenticate himself on the gatekeeper. Right?

All other authentication methods seem not to work for me, since i can't
use CAT (devices do not support it) and i have no RADIUS server. Also i
can not use PrefixAuth since i have a large potential userbase with
dynamic ips, so i can not really limit access (and still the security
wouldn't be enough).

So, are there any other choices for me? Or did i get something wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Kind Regards
Frank
