NAME

login_activ, login_crypto, login_snk — provide ActivCard, CRYPTOCard and SNK-004 authentication

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

The login_token program implements an X9.9 token card challenge response authentication mechanism (see login.conf(5)). It must be invoked by one of the names: login_activ, login_crypto, or login_snk.

The options are as follows:

-s service

Specify the service. Currently only challenge, login, and response are supported.

-v name=value

This option and its value are ignored.

login_token will look up user in the appropriate database file, depending on what name it was called as: /etc/activ.db, /etc/crypto.db, or /etc/snk.db. It then will issue a challenge, and if the user is able to correctly respond (by using the appropriate token) the user will be authenticated. The class argument is unused.

FILES

/etc/activ.db

data base of information for the ActivCard tokens.

/etc/crypto.db

data base of information for the CRYPTOCard tokens.

/etc/snk.db

DIAGNOSTICS
