Using the DIVA T/A

SecurID Connectivity

If you are using V.120, SecurID is available on all platforms. If you are using PPP or multilink
PPP, SecurID is only available with Windows 95/98/NT4. Note that SecurID using PAP-Token
and CHAP is not supported. PAP-Token and CHAP are usually used with servers other than
Shiva (e.g. Ascend).

Using Windows 95/98 to Connect to a V.120 Server

The following example demonstrates how to use Windows 95/98 to connect to a V.120
Server:

1

From the Dial-Up Networking group, right-click the connection on which you want to
implement Secure ID, and select ‘Properties’.

2

Under the ‘Connect using’ field, click ‘Configure’.

3

Click the ‘Options’ tab and enable ‘Bring up terminal window after dialing’.

When you connect to the V.120 SecurID server, a terminal window will pop-up and prompt
for your user name and password.

Using PPP and Multilink PPP

If you want to use PPP or Multilink PPP to access a SecurID server, ask your administrator if:

•

the server is using Shiva PAP as the authentication protocol

•

the server supports these protocols

If these conditions are not met, you cannot use SecurID. If the conditions are met install one
of the following:

•

The Shiva ‘Security Pack’ software (a special patch for Windows 95/98)

•

The Shiva ‘DialIn’ software (replacement software for Windows 95/98 and Windows NT
Dial-Up Networking)

These patches are available from your system administrator or at Shiva's Web site at
http://www.shiva.com/remote/clientsoft/index.html. They add SPAP functionality to
Windows. You require this added functionality to make a SecurID connection.

If you have trouble logging into a SecurID server, contact your administrator or Internet
Service Provider (ISP).
