More Headaches from Vista Security

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bottle-of-pain-medication-shipped-with-every-sale dept.

Michael Cooney writes to tell us Windows Vista may have some serious headaches in store for corporate users with third-party authentication systems like VPNs. From the article: "ISVs say rewriting their code for the new architecture will produce headaches that will extend to their customers that have deployed strong authentication such as biometrics or tokens, enterprise single sign-on and a number of other systems integrated with the Windows authentication architecture."

    Wasn't it just a couple weeks ago we were lamenting "what could have been"?
    Microsoft capitulates and disables large chunks of Vista security by default in order to appease corporate customers. People are up in arms.
    Microsoft rewrites architecture to make things more secure. People are up in arms.

    Me, I'm with the "Good!" crowd. Make things more difficult for me when I transition. It'll make things easier later on.
