[Dxspider-support] Node verification

[Rudy Bakalov]

You may want to discuss with the developers of N1MM and other loggers to make sure the logger address book has a password field. I’d imagine they will have to update the login process to recognize the cluster is asking for a password and submit it.

INHO, enforcing passwords is more of a change management process than a technical implementation.
