546.0. "Ascend MAX 4000 & SecurID. Any one got it running?" by SWAM1::DUTTA_VE (clintonism=Socialism) Wed May 14 1997 18:52

    Has anyone successfully configured an Ascend MAX 4000 to use DRAS V1.1
    to authenticate users via SecurID?  The server is running on an Alpha VMS
    system and I can see the data exchange between the Ascend NAS and the VMS
    system as well as the data exchange between the VMS system the ACE server 
    via a network sniffer.
    
    While other forms of authentication work (e.g., password in DRAS, or
    host-based password), SecurID does not.  The result on the MAX 4000 when 
    SecurID is used is that a second prompt, containing garbage characters, 
    appears.  When the next passcode is entered at that prompt the MAX then 
    reports Access Denied and prompts with "Enter the Passcode: ".  This loop 
    repeats indefinitely no matter what is entered at the prompt.
    
    Any help will be highly appreciated.

    We recently found a small problem with the SECURID module that
    manifests itself as a problem with the prompt strings.  The fix is
    being tested and should be in the field test update code due out
    shortly.
