Custom Authorization
Logon to Windows NT is controlled in part by a DLL called GINA (Graphical Identification and Authentication). PSI MS Tech Group has extensible experience and fair load of expertise in developing an extensible custom GINA. This replacement GINA adds a number of key features and functions missing from Microsoft’s GINA.
| Feature | MS GINA | Custom Features from MTEG@PSI |
| Logon device | Keyboard only. Users are identified and authenticated based on user names and passwords that they type. | Multiple devices. Users can be identified and authenticated based on smart cards, physical characteristics, or any mechanism for which supporting hardware exists. |
| Logon dialog boxes | Partially customizable. Some key dialogs and messages in the logon sequence are replaceable. | Completely customizable. All dialogs and messages in the logon sequence are replaceable. |
| Logoff from locked workstation | Current user or administrator. When a workstation is locked, only an administrator (or the logged on user) can log the user off. Credentials must be supplied twice: to log off the current user and to log on the new user. | Any user. When a workstation is locked, any valid user can log the user off. Credentials must be supplied only once. This feature is especially important where multiple users with similar authority typically share a single workstation. |
| Automatic logoff | Not supported. Screen saver functionality allows automatic locking of workstations after a period of inactivity, but logoff due to inactivity is not supported. | Fully supported. An inactive workstation is locked after a configurable period, then logged off after a configurable period. This mechanism also allows for automatic locking and logoff based on other criteria, such as removal of a smart card from the reader. |
| Customized Authentication | None. Only windows authentication is supported. | As per Requirement. The custom GINA can allow the application custom authentication parallel to windows authentication like external NOVELL directory, App Server etc. |
| Application continuity on shared workstations | Not supported. When a user logs off, all running applications are terminated, and the next user must restart them. If the applications are slow to initialize, time is wasted and productivity is lost. | Fully supported. Designated applications can continue running while multiple users log on and off. Individual accountability is maintained. |
