Looking for a proximity solution for Active Directory authentication HoosierDaddy 04-27-2006

The CEO and president of the corporation I work for are both disabled,
lacking the ability to type in their login to a Windows Active
Directory. I have come to understand that certain companies may be
providing RFID solutions that would allow them to log on whenever their
scooters are within a certain range.

If anyone has any information regarding this technology, such as
companies on the forefront who can provide solutions, please let me
know. Thank you!

The only technology I've seen so far on this is pretty weak, and allows you
to lock, or pseudo-lock and pseudo-unlock a workstation. I haven't seen any
that I would recommend (or trust) to authenticate a logon.

You should really contact the provider of their other assistive technology
that they use for entering data into their computers, and see if there is a
GINA component that they manufacture.

Alun.
