Apparently, Fred Durst's T-Mobile account has been hacked and the attacker has posted a 3-minute sex video on the net.

buyability-and-usability

Today we turned on online purchasing for WiKID Strong Authentication licenses. It is a bit of an experiment in "buyability". A big hat tip to Dharmesh Shah's post on Usability vs. Buyability to clarify this point for me. We had focused on ease of use. We have provided ASP scripts that automate the two-factor roll-out process, for example and have an incredibly easy to use Web-interface on the WiKID server (IMHO - another hat tip to Brian Dame ;). We have attempted to take the risk out of buying WiKID by having an open-source version and by having a trial version of the commercial server available for download from the extranet. And we have set up a way to test the WiKID two-factor tokens without even providing an email address.

The good news is that the 3.0.1 release of the WiKID Strong Authentication server has improved support for TACACS+. You can now create a file in /opt/WiKID/private called tacacs.local and it's contents will appear in the tacacs.conf file, allowing finer grain control of permissions, etc.

I'm pleased to announce that we have just released a version of the WiKID Strong Authentication Server as a Parallels virtual appliance. We get a lot of Mac users to the site and this virtual appliance offering gives them a quick and easy way to test WiKID - as well as for Windows and Linux users of Parallels workstation.

A key strength of WiKID is it's ability to handle multiple domains across multiple servers. We can guess at some of the key apps that people will want to have two-factor authentication, but it's better to just ask.
