I am interested in combining the benefits of SEAM (Sun Enterprise
Authentication Mechanism aka Kerberos) and SecurID.
SecurID provides secure passwords. Unfortunately you can only log on to one
server per 60 second period with a SecurID password. You need to wait for a
new code to log on to a second server. This can create big problems if there
is a problem which requires me to log on to several machines in a short
period of time.
SEAM can assign a ticket which allows you to pass between server
transparently for a certain period of time. This single logon capability has
many advantages.
Unfortunately neither technology appears to be very eager to integrate with
the other. I have been told by RSA that some of their users have succeeded
in merging the two technologies.
Can anyone provide me with suggestions or pointers on the subject? Google
and archive searches haven't gotten me anywhere.
Thanks in advance,
-JohnF
