Thomas,
Its not entirely clear to me, particularily based on some the early responses, whether you/your management want to use SecurID to control access to VM itself or to the (TCP/IP) network you use to connect to VM.
We, like others on the list, use SecurID to access our corporate network remotely (i.e. via either direct phone connection or Internet VPN). However, we do not use SecurID to control access to VM or MVS once we have network access. Access to VM and MVS are controlled via VM:Secure or ACF2 password, respectively.
I don't know one way or the other whether either VM:Secure or ACF2 (or native VM) will interface w/ SecurID.

Subject: RSA SecurID product
Management is looking at having ALL system administrators use 2 part
authentication. One product that is prominent in their discussions is
RSA's SecurID. Their website lists components for Windows, Solaris, AIX
and Intel-based Linux. My boss is going to ask them if they support
systems on IBM zSeries platforms.
Has anyone else had experience with this product even without their
mainframe systems being part of the setup?
