Microsoft ISV Partner status confirmed with “Works With Windows Server 2008 R2 and .NET” lab test

Just in from the Microsoft labs, the new SMS PASSCODE verison 3.1 has passed the “Works with” lab tests for both the Windows Server 2008 R2 and the .NET platforms from Microsoft. SMS PASSCODE has been a long standing Microsoft partner extending its award-winning two-factor authentication via SMS solution to the Microsoft Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG/IAG), Outlook Web Access including the latest OWA 2010, Terminal Services/Remote Desktop Services including the latest Windows Server 2008 as well as Windows systems.  The rigorous tests were passed flawlessly in first attempt with no remarks.

The SMS Authentication protection is integrated tightly into the Microsoft technologies. This gives a very transparent user experience. E.g. for a user logging into Outlook Web Access 2010, the user first authenticates as usual with user name and password. Once validated, SMS PASSCODE present a new window requesting the user to enter the passcode that was generated and send real-time to the mobile phone via SMS. When entered, the user is granted access to OWA. No need for seperate screens, self-service portals or similar inconveniences seen with older technologies such as tokens.
