Does anyone have any good links for a single sign on solution. Any material
would also be appreciated.

Darryl,

the Programm PasswordStation sounds really great - if the costumer have a
single sign on it would be the best solution!

Thanks for all replies!

For me it ist a very hard question because I don't
know where all of the up to 20.000 clients are
located - there are also RAS users with tokens
ode PKI chipcards. The other problem is that all
clients are employed by bank institutes and so
passwords are more critical than in other cases

I thought about th following procedurs:

- help desk has two telephone numbers
- the client will get a call back from help
desk

Well, lets see.

Robert,

In a past life we would send the new password to a known email address
for the person whose account is reset. If email is not available we
would leave the reset password on the users voice mail.  Both systems
would only be accessible by the person whose account is reset.  If
someone other than the owner of the account requests a reset, the
account is still safe, assuming email and vmail are secure.

Hello colleauges,

imaging the following situation:

User calls the helpdesk to reset/alter some kind
of account-password (NT, RAS, PKI-PIN ...) and you
has to determin wheter the user is the correct
(owner of the account) user. What would you do
to authentificate the users identity?

What are good methodes to do this? It should be
easy for the user but secure for the administration.


Robert
