[RADIATOR] Added support for Novell eDirectory NMAS and Vasco Digipass NMAS method

[Mike McCauley]

Hello,

we are pleased to announce that Radiator now supports Novell eDirectory NMAS 
and the Vasco Digipass NMAS method.

Novell eDirectory is a widely used user and identity management system based 
on LDAP (www.novell.com)

NMAS (Novell Modular Authentication System) is a component of eDirectory that 
permits eDirectory to authenticate passwords in a modular way. It allows 
third parties to add password authentication mechanisms (called Methods) to 
eDirectory.

Vasco (www.vasco.com) have released such an NMAS Method for their Digipass 2 
factor tokens. This allows administrators to use eDirectory to import, 
manage, assign and authenticate Vasco Digipass tokens for their users.

Radiator now supports NMAS authentication of Vasco Digipass tokens (and other 
NMAS Methods). During NMAS authenticaiton, PAP passwords are passed to 
eDirectory and the selected NMAS Login sequence method. The NMAS methods 
authenticate the password and tell Radiator whether to accept or reject the 
password.

Radiator will continue to support authenticating Vasco Digipass tokens in your 
own SQL database, and in RAdmin and it will also continue to supprot Novell 
Universal Passwords, as valid optional configurations.

Support for NMAS is now in the latest Radiator patch set along with sample 
configuration files etc.
