Hello everyone,

First of all, thanks to those that have replied to my original message
about authentication against a ACE/Server (SecurID).

All the people that have replied so far understood that I was having
problems with Linux's pppd connecting to my employer's network which
requires the use of a SecurID card. In this case, Linux is the client
of the PPP connection, and my employer's dial-in server is the server
of the PPP connection.

I guess I didn't explain myself well in my original message: what I
want to do is to have my Linux PPP _server_ contact, somehow, the
ACE/Server so dial-in users (no matter what OS they use - Linux, NT,
Win95/98) can get access to the network.

I don't have problems with my Linux clients accessing the network via a
SecurID-authenticated session: I wrote a very simple script that
allows the user to type at the shell prompt something like "connect
123456", where "123456" is the passcode displayed in the SecurID LCD.

Right now my PPP server is using PAP and the /etc/passwd file but I
don't want this, I want the ACE/Server to do the authentication for
pppd.

Any suggestions? Can TACACS or Radius help me?

Thanks!

peloy.-
