This is built into windows 2000, if you use the windows 2000 CA and set up a
domain.  You can also pay for Baltimore's CA or SunOne's CA to get the same
thing.  You will still need your system to be a member of a domain.

Subject: USB Tokens


Hi,
Has anyone used/developed/know of an application that can secure the OS =
authentication (GINA) by using a standard USB token with say a =
certificate on it.

EG I have a 32Mb USB token with a certificate and when windows boots you =
insert the USB token into the workstation and enter a password to unlock =
the certificate.

Thoughts?

I am currently looking at if i have to buy a etoken from eAlladdin or =
somewhere. Would prefer to use a standard USB token.
Cheers
Justin
