SecurID is a library for authenticating with an RSA SecurID ACE Authentication Server.
RSA SecurID is a two-factor authentication scheme that uses a PIN and a tokencode to authenticate a user. The tokencode is generated by a hardware or software token and changes at regular timed intervals.
Installing the SecurID gem requires installation of the proper ACE authentication library for your system. The library may be obtained from RSA.
$ gem build securid.gemspec
$ gem install securid-X.X.gem
require 'rubygems'
require 'securid'
success = RSA::SecurID.authenticate(username, passcode)
The authenticate class method accepts a username and a passcode and
returns true or false to indicate success or failure.
The passcode is simply the concatenation of the user's PIN and their current tokencode.
Any unexpected problems during the authentication process will raise an
RSA::SecurID::SecurIDError.
