RSA Authentication agent

 

We have an application in C++ which should natively support RSA Securid authentication. We would like to develop a authentication agent which will communicate with Authentication Manager for authenticating users.

 

Is there RSA agent library in C++? I read that it is available in C. From where can I download library and API documentation?

Also, since Authentication Manager can be configured as RADIUS server, one way to go about this is to talk via RADIUS protocol. Is this approach is less secure compared to proprietary RSA agent?

Thanks,

- Aditya

I don't know about C++ library, but I'd say RADIUS is less secure than SecurID's native SDI protocol because native SDI protocol is fully encrypted and RADIUS encrypts only password/passcode.

For making it more secure we could use SSL.

 

Thanks Luka for your answer!
