Allowing any server to register to your site can be dangerous (even just polluting your database with stranger site is considered hackish for me) when Sites registry is enabled. Therefore it is useful to set a password for XML-RPC and allow registering site only if password on both sides are equal.

This is very small patch and is backwards compatible. No password on both sides == permit registering.

Deprecated but what's alternative?
Suppose it's not hard to add this functionality.
Any ideas?

Andrey,

as discussed with some drupal.org guys, we decided to limit the scope of this module. Its always possible to create a module with the required features. im sorry.

best regards,

massa
