According to PortMaster:

> Wonder if the Merit Radius server works with SecurID?

We have had someone working on this (one of our affiliates) for
several weeks. He has written an AATV for Merit RADIUS which
I plan to include in a future release. He is having one problem
in saving the SecurID state between RADIUS requests (the original
and the one from the Access-Challenge). The request state is
free()'d after every request, and the SecurID structure (state info)
is over 300 bytes which won't fit into a RADIUS State attribute due
to the DRAFT RFC standard which limits RADIUS packets to ~255 bytes.

So, he's having problems recovering the SecurID state info for the
matching request... However, he is working with the vendor...
