Well my car has now got a nice performance upgrade, instead of the stock 225 bhp and 320 Nm of torque it is now pushing out 270 bhp and 447 Nm, as can be seen but the graph on the left.  For people who prefer torque in lb-ft instead of Nm this equates to 330 lb-ft.  The only downside is my fuel consumption is awful when I put my foot down.  Oh well can’t have it all.

I have recently implemented a RSA SecurID infrastructure to provide secure two-factor authentication over both local login to servers and workstations and also EAP VPN authentication.  This was initially using SID700 tokens and worked brilliantly.  Since then we have purchased a number of SID800 tokens which have USB connectors built-in to automatically passthrough the code on the display.

Unfortunatly I have been unable to get them to fully integrate with the logon GINA and still allow full VPN EAP support, until now!

There is not a lot of documentation around doing this with the SID800 tokens so below is the highlevel overview of what I have installed to get them to work, in order:

• Microsoft USB CCID hardware drivers
• RSA Authentication Agent 6.1
• RSA Authentication Agent 6.1.2 patch
• RSA Authenticator Utility

If anyone would like further details please drop me an email and I will do my best to help you out.

Recently I have been configuring a Linksys WAG200G router to allow VPN access inbound.  Everytime it attempted to make a connection it would return Error 721.  After a chat with Linksys Tech Support they sent me through some updated firmware that is not available on their website.  So if you encounter inbound VPN issues with a Linksys router contact them and request updated firmware, the version I now have is 1.01.05(1), and it works!
