I think you're confusing the tail and the dog.  If you're in a site
emergency like that, you can stand a momentary outage to permit
SERVER_CONSOLE to update RCLARK to use native authentication.

If you're in normal operations, having IDs and passwords consistent
across services saves many many people much time and confusion.  Far
from the least of these is the time and effort of the TSM
administrator who has to do a lot of commo to reset passwords for
rarely-accessd IDs which are out of sync with single signon.
