it can be adopted to one time password as well.
interesting - is there Unix/Linux support for these things?

For the RSA SecureID stuff, at least for AIX and Linux, there are libraries
available to authenticate against the server given username+code - I'm not
sure how it works in detail, but I found it a pain to work with.

We use something else called "Kobil SecOVID", which is not time-based
but "press the button, get an OTP token" based - but the principle is
similar.  The Kobil auth server speaks RADIUS, so our OpenVPN server
uses plugin-auth-pam to authenticate vs. PAM, and then pam_radius to
talk to the Kobil server - it could use the openvpn radius plugin as
well, but back in the day, that was more complicated to setup.

I think I confused myself a bit here - it's not that difficult to use the OTP part of the RSA SecurIDs, but I happen to have a RSA USB token that does both the OTP stuff but is also a PKCS11 device - it's Linux drivers for the PKCS11 stuff which have always been missing.

cheers,

JJK
