NAME

ace_initd - ACE Authentication daemon for Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth

SYNOPSIS

nohup ./ace_initd --listen=127.0.0.1 --facility=local2 --secret=123456 --port=1969 --var_ace=/var/ace

DESCRIPTION

This daemon handles the ACE authentication requests for the Apache::SecurID::Auth module. It is a single threaded, single fork server that listens on a specified UDP port. Incoming requests are decrypted and requests forwarded to the ACE server. If a specific request is in either in NEXT TOKEN MODE or SET PIN MODE the Authen::ACE object is not deleted. It is instead kept in memory to handle those specific requests later.
