IIS-OTP INTERNAL DATABASE
As a descendent of
TCP Data's free Rasa Radius authentication server. IIS-OTP has an internal
high speed lookup database to hold username/password/SMD-address data.
It uses a high capacity, high-speed Hash Based lookup.
It is capable of holding and providing rapid access to 10's of thousands of user
records. The database is stored
on disk as an easy to maintain ASCII text in standard 'flat file' format.
ACTIVE DIRECTORY DATA ACCESS DETAILS
A major problem with dealing with Active Directory Internal data in a network
environment is the so-called delegation latency. Processes and entities
must typically have Admin. privs for any meaningful data access or manipulation.
This typically means that an access token or some other object or entity
must be transported across the network to the Primary Domain Server for
any meaningful access to the AD internal data structures.
IIS-OTP solves this problem
by putting an Admin. privileged process (service) running on the Primary
Domain Server. Rapid Communications achieved via encrypted UDP packet exchange.
The IIS-OTP Service accesses ONLY that part of the AD intern data structures
that are normally unused. THE scheme is shown in the following figure:

Cell Phone SMS Routing
In order to deliver SMS
messages tot he user's cell phone. IIS-OTP must acces the carrier's internet
SMTPgateway Tthis is easily done by accessing any standard SMTP server.
All major carriers maintain such a gateway. they accept delivery of email
from any standard email accounts of the type provided by Dailup Internet
service providors. This is how Microsoft Outlook sends email. The delivery
sequence is shown in the following diagram:
