The PC-DCE™ Co-Authentication Service (CAS) provides developers with the ability to plug alternative authentication methods into PC-DCE. A user logging in through CAS uses an alternative authentication method, for example a biometric device such as a fingerprint scanner, to obtain DCE login credentials.

To use a specific authentication method, you must install both a co-authentication DLL and a login program that implement the authentication method functionality. Currently, PC-DCE includes a co-authentication DLL and a login program for Security Dynamics SecurID® authentication. If you wish to use a different authentication method, you can develop your own DLL and login program. This document provides information you will need to write these programs.

Entegrity® Solutions Professional Services can assist customers who wish to use another authentication method but do not want to develop the co-authentication DLL and login program.
