This is the README file for Authen::ACE, the Perl interface to the Security Dynamics' SecurID ACE client API. This is version 0.90 of Authen::ACE. This version is still considered alpha software. It has only been built on Solaris 2.5.1 with Perl 5.004_03 and gcc 2.7.2.1. It has only been tested against version 3.0.1 of ACE/Server. AVAILABILITY The latest version of Authen::ACE is available from the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) or via anonymous FTP at ftp://ftp.iplenergy.com/pub/perl INSTALLATION See the accompanying INSTALL file for detailed installation directions. EXAMPLES The eg directory contains a few example scripts. Some of them require entering PINs and tokens. If you have the Term::ReadKey module (available from CPAN), then the example scripts will generally use it to avoid echoing PINs to the screen. If you don't have the module, ALL ENTERED PINS WILL WILL BE DISPLAYED IN PLAIN TEXT. SUPPORT You can send bug reports and suggestions for improvements on this module to me at . However, I can't promise to offer any other support for this module (the lawyers made me say that). FUTURE WORK Support for the functions sdi_auth_create_certificate() and sdi_auth_validate_certificate() is not yet implemented.
