IAG & VASCO?

Another search phrase that I thought I could answer!

Yes, IAG will work with VASCO!

VASCO Middleware and Identikey use the RADIUS protocol, and RADIUS can be configured as one of the authenication methods on IAG.

You will need to define the VASCO server, along with the correct ports and shared secret.

I would configure Windows AD authentication and VASCO, so the user would need to login with AD username, AD password and VASCO one time password.

In the past, I have installed VASCO Middleware on the IAG appliance, but this would be subject to the number of users/tokens required. Unless you are looking at single figures of VASCO tokens, I would recommend that the VASCO server be installed somewhere else.

More VASCO qualifications!

Today's training course went very well and I feel confident that it gives enough information to the attendees to get installing and using the product immediately!

The exam covers all aspects learnt in the last two days and is an open book exam which I know some people love and some people hate. I have to say that in the "real world" you'd be able to look at the product, speak to people, refer to manuals, use Google, etc, so I agree with open book exams.

Fortunately, I passed the exam to gain more VASCO qualifications. That now means I'm a VASCO Certified Engineer (VCE) for Middleware 3.0, aXsGUARD 7.0 and now Identikey 3.1. As I passed with over 80%, it also qualifies me to carry out training in this product as well.

e92plus are now an Authorised Training Centre for VASCO Identikey, as well an ATC for Websense and Cyberoam.

We'll start to run the certified training course for VASCO Identikey 3.1 from September 2009, so I may see you soon! :)

VASCO Training

Who is the worlds largest two factor token provider?

RSA?? Nope, although that's probably the answer, if you spoke to someone in the UK or US.

Speak to someone in Europe or from the banking industry, then the answer would be.... VASCO!

VASCO provide tokens to commerical banking worldwide and in fact all verticals, but as such have more functioning tokens in the real world than any other token provider.

I spent today in technical training, learning more about VASCO Identikey 3.1. Vasco is one of the vendors that we distribute for at e92plus.

Initial reaction is that it's much better structured than the old VASCO Middleware 3.0 course. I'd highly recommend this course for someone new to two factor authentication, as well as someone who has experience of other solutions.

Advantages over Middleware, include a web interface, reporting, much improved AD integration and a SOAP interface. More to come tomorrow, along with an exam!!
