How can I proxyauth into the Communications Express (UWC) interface of a user?

The Communication Express (UWC) interface provides a method of accessing the interface of a user using a special super-user account.

1. Create a user called proxyauth@yourdomain.com. The user doesn't need to have mail/calendar access.

2. Set the following in /var/opt/SUNWuwc/WEB-INF/config/uwcauth.properties 

uwcauth.admins=proxyauth@yourdomain.com

3. Restart the Communication Express (UWC) webserver instance

4. Log into Communication Express (UWC) using the following link: 

UWC_SERVER_URL/auth?username=PROXY_ADMIN_USERNAME&password=PROXY_ADMIN_PASSWORD&proxyauth=PROXY_USER@MAIL_DOMAIN

where 

PROXY_ADMIN_USERNAME is the proxyauth account from steps (1) and (2)
PROXY_ADMIN_PASSWORD is the password for the PROXY_ADMIN_USERNAME account
PROXY_USER@MAIL_DOMAIN is the users account you wish to access

e.g. 

http://myserver.aus.sun.com/uwc/auth?username=proxyauth@aus.sun.com&password=secret&proxyauth=shjorth@aus.sun.com

Note: This mechanism was also discussed in this forum thread
