Hello, my apologies for this thread which is probably outside of general
firewall discussions, but I don't know of a better list to put this one.  If
anyone does know of a better one, please let me know.

I have a client who is using SecurID in about 100 countries with 100
different SecurID servers.  They are going toward a unified login so that
"djones" will only exist on one server in the entire world.  They would like
to set up a system where an app could do a SecurID authentication to any
SecurID server in the world.  SecurID does support what they call "cross
realm authentication", but that is limited to 20 servers.  One option we
though of was merging a lot of servers into regional servers (North America,
Europe, etc), but the political and technical resistence to doing so is
great.  I thought of having sending everyone to a Radius server and have a
database in Radius point to the proper SecurID server (ie: djones is in the
US server, akaiser is in the German SecurID server, rguilanni is in the
Italian server), but Radius can only handle one SecurID server (and from
what I've looked at, this looks like more of a restriction on what the
libraries from SecurID can do than the capabilities of Radius itself).  Does
anyone have any ideas?  Strong authentication is a must.  Keeping SecurID
would be highly desirable considering the massive investment they have in
SecurID tokens.
