Authentication to ExtraNet services

["Shaun Moran" <Shaun () TheMorans Com>]

What are people doing about authentication of external users from the
Internet before being allowed access into an ExtraNet type system (delivered
by a browser).

The application usually requires personalisation and therefore some form of
authentication itself but of course it would be really really nice to
authenticate the user on a more secure device even before a single packet
hits that oh so normally easilly crackable web server.

But of course - no one likes to authenticate twice.

Are there any products people are using - have used sucessfully - the only
one I know about is the Aventail ExtraWeb product but its unix only
availability affects its ability to be deployed into NT only shops.

Any thoughts - comments - views - abuse :-)

Ta - Shaun
