Scorpion Software is pleased to announce that we are releasing AuthAnvil v3 today.
All customers can now download the latest version directly from the Customer Portal.
Version 3 has several new features that may interest you. Some of them include:
- Offline caching modefor your laptops, desktops and servers. That's right, you can now use two-factor authentication on disconnected computers that aren't even in the office, or connected to the network, for a period of time. So when you are on the airplane or in an area with no network connectivity and you need to log in securely to that laptop, you can do that with confidence. Once the machine is back on the network and authenticates to AuthAnvil it resynchronizes itself, ensuring you keep the systems in check with each other. This works for clients running Windows XP, Windows Vista AND Windows 7. And even Windows Server 2003 and 2008 too!
- AuthAnvil SoftTokens. Turn your Windows Mobile, RIM Blackberry or Apple iPhone device into an authentication token. You no longer need to carry around those keyfobs if you don't want to, as your smartphone can act just like one! And they cost less to purchase and maintain too! And with no network access needed to generate the one-time passwords, this will even work on those Windows Mobile Ipaqs and iPod Touch devices!
- New Self Service Portal to make user provisioning and token management much easier. With feedback from over 500 users across 50 different sites during an extensive usability study, we have rolled out a new Self Service Portal to provision hardware tokens and SoftTokens, along with allowing users to change their own PIN, resynchronize their tokens and even report lost or stolen tokens in a matter of minutes. This makes deployment and management a breeze!
Along with these features come a whole bunch of updates, tweaks and changes to make your experience with our software and services that much better. We have updated the Customer Portal to account for the new SoftTokens, including a much easier to use Online Store and an AuthAnvil Subscription Statement Centre to help you monitor your subscription usage and credits.
