README - VDSI Authentication Applet Configuration

written:  3/28/96 RTC, Trinet Services

All files are contained in the directory "flash".
The top-level html document is "flash/index.html".


To install the applet into a web page, do the following:
(1) Copy and install 'servauth' binary
    Some servers allow ".cgi" extension files in any HTML directory; if this
    is the case, rename servauth to servauth.cgi
    Some servers require executable binaries to be in /cgi-bin.  If this is
    the case, move the file to this directory.

(2) Install user/keycode file 'keyfile2.txt' into same directory where
    'servauth' or 'servauth.cgi' binary is located

(3) Modify web page 'flash.html' to contain correct URL links for the applet.
    The HTML tag(s) to modify are as follows:

    <param name="successURL" value="http://www.company.com:80/start.html">
    <param name="validationURL" value="http://www.company.com:80/servauth.cgi">

(4) Modify the param's in the file to match the appropriate locations for:
    successURL -  the page to be loaded on a successful validation
    validationURL - the full URL of the 'servauth' binary

VASCO Data Security, Inc. and TriNet Services, Inc., as a team, have entered
an applet into the Java Cup International Applet Contest.  Our applet is based
on VDSI's patented access control technology called the Access Key II(tm).
The Access Key II(tm) is a one-time password generator used for extended user
authentication.  The Key operates as a challenge/response token, where the
challenge can be read by the token optically or through keypad entry.  Java
provides us with the ability to present the optical challenge in a web document
which can then be used for entry into a secure web site.

To facilitate the testing of the applet we are submitting, we are sending six
uniquely programmed Access Keys so that the judges can use these keys with
their associated user ids to test the Java applet.  The applet is basically
the login screen to a secure web site.  The applet presents the challenge
required by the Access Keys both optically and in numeric form, and accepts
the username and response as input.

The usernames assigned to the six keys are: java1, java2, java3, java4, java5,
and java6.  We have labeled the Keys accordingly (normally you would not want
to write your username on the key itself).

Access Key II Pin Operation

To set the PIN for use:

1. Depress the 'c' key followed by the 'p' key.
2. The display should read '8888'.
3. Enter the PIN you wish to use.
4. The display should flash, then shut off.
5. Allow approximately 16 seconds for the key to shut down.

To enable the key after the PIN has been chosen:

1. Depress the 'p' key.
2. The key should display '0000'.
3. Enter your PIN number.
4. The display should flash, then turn off.
5. The key is now ready for use.

To change the PIN number:

1. Enable the key using your current PIN number.
2. Depress the 'c' key, followed by the 'p' key.
3. The screen should display '8888'.
4. Enter the new PIN you want to use.
5. Allow the key approximately 16 seconds to shut down.
