I talked to their IT guy over a year ago, and they said that they would be
discontinuing the XMLRPC authentication service at some point.
This would be a permanent change, as the security risks are too great.
They are worried about District web sites being compromised.

We were supposed to receive a notice when it was to be turned 'off', but I
never got that notice, and one day it stopped working.
I'm not holding my breath for the service to come back up, and in the mean
time, I'm just resetting members passwords on demand.

Yep, that's what I ended up doing as well. Not a huge deal. I'm
sure there are more high priority items that need tended to. Thanks
for the quick response!
