What’s about James T. Kirk and privacyIDEA?

I published a short article about the history of strong authentication during the last 33 years – starting with Admiral James T. Kirk accessing the Genesis project data with a retina scan.

Well, personally I am really not convince to use biometrics for authentication. Have you ever tried to revoke your biometrics? Bad idea.

Thus biometrics are better used to monitor your movements till your death than to authentication to a computer system!

You should use privacyIDEA!

This is the blog post on the Univention blog (German!).

Update: (May 03) It is also available in english.

privacyIDEA 2.22 with a more flexible RADIUS integration

1 comment

With privacyIDEA 2.22 we added the possibility to pass more useful userinformation to a RADIUS client like a VPN. The administrator can add a policy to include the resolver and the realm of a user who authenticated successfully. This response data can then be used in the FreeRADIUS plugin and modified by regular expressions to add any arbitrary RADIUS attribute in the RADIUS response, which then would be sent to the VPN. This additional information can be used by Cisco ASA, Citrix Netscaler or any other enterprise grade VPN to put the user into certain subnets or to assign resource to the user.
