That may be right.  However, in the present case the ADSM
client ALREADY knows the correct ADSM password (it is only
the IP address that has changed owing to DHCP).  So there
seems to be no good reason for the ADSM server to distrust
the ADSM client and require a manual password entry !
Also, please note this observation:

I think that we are still missing the full story of ADSM
passwords and IP-addresses.
