Re: Testing REST APIs....

There is a third scenario that might be used as a icebreaker to get the 
network people on board.

There is "has no log-in for the i, but is inside the vpn."  I see this 
scenario where people within the corporate structure have a need for the 
data but they have no need or reason to have a password to the i 
itself.  Their need is important but incidental.  All of that is already 
under your control and is a deliverable by you.

Quite possibly once that beachhead is established then the 
"outside-the-vpn" might become possible, or even irrelevant?
