For most non-secure access we (Purdue) have been using standard 
username/password authentication.  We have also coupled that with the cisco 
vpn client to allow users to mount shares and the like.  some of our groups 
have implemented TFA using usb eTokens, but currently we are in the process 
of moving all authentication, vpn and otherwise, to RSA SecurID TFA tokens.  
It is slow going with each functional group having its own set of groups and 
users that need to be standardized across the enterprise, but the initial 
testing has gone well and resistance is limited. Some of our groups are using 
OpenVPN as opposed to the cisco vpn product, both seem to work well and 
function as intended.

On Thursday 26 February 2009, Russ Leathe formed electrons in this pattern:
Gordon College uses two products.



1.)    Juniper SSL VPN - clientless

2.)    XYTHOS - document management system



With the FTC's Red Flag Rule these tools have become very useful.

I was wondering what other colleges and universities are using to allow
Faculty, staff and students to connect remotely (from off campus) to
their group and home directories to access their personal files?
