[RADIATOR] Multiple authentication methods

Thu Jul 16 18:38:26 CDT 2009

Hi

Yes you are right the RSA server does know which auth method is being 
used, however, the way I currently have Radiator configured it does not 
support the different auth methods.

Is the request to the RSA server different for Token and SMS auth?
I think the RSA Server knowns which auth methods are allowed for the
user and acts accordingly.
