Biometric/Token Authentication and Seamless Integration?

Posted by Cliff on from the your-body-as-your-password dept.

NeuralAbyss asks: "With all the recent discussions on biometric, password and token authentication, I thought I'd ask one simple question that no websites seem to be able to answer: What devices integrate transparently with pre-built infrastructure (Linux, *BSD, Novell, Windows NT/2K)? Any advice from Slashdot readers out there would be quite helpful, as I am looking into biometric/token authentication for a network that I administer, currently a Win2000/Novell hybrid."

    Most biometric devices will work with Windows, Go to novell.com and do a search for NMAS(Novell Modular Authentication Service). They have links to all thier partners whose products work with NMAS, you will have to buy NMAS licences incidently. You will need to be running at least Netware 5.0 in order to use NMAS, once you do it's pretty seamless.

    I've set it up in a lab environment and for demo's at a couple of tech shows.
