    What does a Status of "Future consideration" mean? Is there a timeline/schedule for this RFE?

    This is a very important improvement we need to comply with corporate audits! It would be great to have a implementation schedule available!

    This is in the process of becoming a requirement for our company. This will be a risk exception until implemented.

    Hi please give at least a feedback on when you will implement it, since it is an RFC4954 of 2007

    There is a strong push towards greater cyber security requriements and the AUTH command is important for security compliance.
