Windows Server Forum / IIS / IIS Security / July 2008How about TS?
David, to what extent have you ever applied PhoneFactor to Terminal Services? Any special considerations? We tried their free version. Easy to install and easy to manage. Checkit at www.phonefactor.com/terminalservices. We gave it a go for strong authentication and it seems to work pretty well. I've got some concerns about depending on the wireless telephone network for mission critical functions. I don't think you should worry about the reliability of the telephone network for phonefactor. When you think about it, telephone networks are engineered for 5 9's reliability while IP networks tend to have problems. Good thing also is that you could really think of it as more than one telephone network. Users can choose their wireless network or change it to their wireline network if the wireless phone is stolen, lost, out of range, out of battery, etc. I actually think of it as more secure than PC. Yup, called their service desk (pretty helpful actually), and they told me phonefactor covers the cost of the outbound call. Now I'm trying to figure out how they make money :-). Well, figured out PhoneFactor sell upgrades (British Agreement ;-), based on number of users, number of apps, etc. Essentially it appears that if you have a small simple setup it's free and there are flexible upgrades. We just set up PhoneFactor for Outlook Web Access Authentication. They've got an agent that makes it pretty easy--about a half hour. Big thing for this solution could be even more widely distributed web apps. Well its working for us and we're rolling it out to about 750 employees. I'm glad we don't have to spend the money to send them all tokens and to camp out on the help desk to answer questions and solve problems. Users seem to be responding with limited rebellion.
