It seems like all that documentation about the web service is indeed a
red-herring since the module is neither a client nor a provider of such a
service.  There is no obligation to implement such a service as documented
- since in any event auth_ephemeral neither implements nor consumes this
web service.

All auth_ephemeral does it to authenticate clients using a secret
(password) that is encrypted using a shared key.  auth_ephemeral I guess
decrypts the secret which is structured so that auth_ephemeral can tell
that it is legit and unexpired.

Do I have this right?

Gotta say that the docs really don't make this clear.

Thanks,
Steve
