Hi,

For a small office (my wife can 3 of her colleagues) I like to implement
one time based token authentication. I'm currently OPIE/S-key for remote access
which works ok but is not particularly user friendly.

My thought is to convert these users to token based authentication possibly
without paying $ 10k. On Ebay you can buy RSA SecurID Tokens, they are
reasonably prices ($7 p/token), I still have an old Sun Sparc 20 around with
Solaris 2.6 which could run as an SecurID/Ace server.

Does anybody know if it's possible to buy a 2nd hand SecurID/Ace server + licence
and configure the tokens bought on E-bay to authenticate against this server like
I propose. Or would I run into problems with either the licencing agreements with
RSA or with something like the the token seed decryption?

Thanks in advance,

  - Brendan
