Passwords are an anathema.  You need to control the access to your
journal by ip number and/or domain name.  We work with some others
who have licensed all of our (Class B) 132.178.x.y ip numbers, all
of which are here at Boise State.  Others have limited it to several
(such as 6) Class C addresses, such as 132.178.18.x (the library).
This is generally adequate, as most journals are of interest only
to a few departments.  In addition, anyone can come to the library
to get access there, too.

Passwords can be compromised, shared beyond the intended audience
(and they WILL be, like it or not), forgotten, and so forth.  The
only downside to the ip number limitation is that when our legitimate
users connect from a non-university personal account they are not
allowed to reach certain resources.  So it goes.  That is still better
than messing with password control, both for you and for me.
