Hello all!
Can anyone define when a particular "feature" of a program that
HP supports qualifies as either a "Bug Fix" or "Enhancement"?
Here is the background:
HP supports an Opendesk client program called Opendesk Mobile client.
I find this program to be a great enhancement to the Opendesk program.
(In fact, if the security bug is fixed in this client program, there would
be little reason to migrate to other e-mail packages!)
However, it has a very dangerous security "feature". If another user tries
to logon thru your PC to access his/her own Opendesk e-mail account, that
user is able to access your messages residing on your PC. What
makes this more dangerous is that the other user can enter a bad
Opendesk password, and still be able to access your e-mail messages residing
in your PC! There is total absence of security!
I called HP, and after about a week, they told me that "HP considers
this to be an enhancement request, and thus, has no plans on changing it".
I believe that this is another HP's misguided decision. Does anyone have
another suggestion? Has anyone else seen this "feature"?
TIA,
