Good morning,
I did take a look at that article a short while ago. Its an interesting
read and they do have a number of interesting security options available. But
there is still the fundamental issue that the gateway or login process is one
that can be hacked and sometimes quite easily die to the lack of modern
protections. When it was released it was pretty good but lately as I look
closer at it with questions from a state government security person I can see a
number of glaring holes that should be filled. These are the biggest ones I see.
1. Passwords are only alphanumeric.
2. No two factor options.
3. Usernames and password are stored in the Structure file. (Very bad if your
revving structure files during continuous developemnt.
4. No account lockouts for fail authentication attempts. An attacker can just
continuously try usernames and passwords indefinitely.
5. The AD options require that you serve from a windows server bound to and AD
system. You cannot use this if you have Mac clients or a Apple server.
6. No ability to define password difficulty or force password changes
periodically. (I know that need to change passwords regularly has been debunked
but most govt. best practice documents still believe that’s the way to go.)
Thanks for the feedback.
