Just personal opinion, but I wouldn't want to trust a proximity card alone for logins. Perhaps coupled with some sort of biometric reader to authenticate that the person with the card is the actual user, but not alone. I've worked for a company which used the cards for physical access to the building, and those cards can be problematic -- if they get cracked or too close to a strong magnetic field, they are dead.
Not saying not to do it, but keep a good supply of blank cards handy along with the badge-making equipment. :-) Just my 2ยข worth. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Symiakakis [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 27, 2009 8:41 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Proximity Card Network Logon Hi All, do any of you have experience with using Proximity Cards for netowrk logons and single signon? We are looking to simplify our multiple password infrastructure, and are looking at Biotech or Proximity devices and software. Software advice would greatly be appreciated.
