He requested a method that was not device-centric, but was instead 
user-centric. In that case, regardless of the device, the user will have 
to identify and authenticate, which VMAuthenticate can easily do. Once 
that is done, the user id (mailbox number) can be used to retrieve the 
authorization info.
