Simple Report on user or IP and the Cipher/Algorith/Mac/Key Exchange they used to connect for the SSP

This is useful information for larger organizations who need to deprecate older ciphers/algorithms/key exchanges.  If you don't own/purchase CCM there isnt' a way to do easily do this.  Which is odd since the information is contained in the SSP logs, just not in a readable format that.

This is a simple report (similiar to a B2B out of the box report) that could read the audit logs and show (based on ID/IP) the cipher/algorithms/mac/key exchange the user used.  ID would be best because it's easier to equate an ID to a partner and then reach out to the partner to ask them to update their ciphers/algorithms.  IP's are much harder to track, especially if you only want to reach out to the individuals who are using the weak ciphers/algorithms.

If a report can't be done in SSP, it would be nice if the logs could be structured in a format that shows the ID or IP on the same line as the cipher/algorithm/mac/key exchange.  This way we could use other company tools such as SPLUNK to digest the logs and create our own custom reports.  This way we are not having to script something that splices session ID with who is doing what from the log files.
