I was asked if it's possible to use SecurID to control access
to a web server ... i.e. to provide very limited access to
the information presented on a server.

In a way I think this doesn't make sense because by its vary nature
a web server isn't secure anyway.  It'd be like putting a deadbolt on
the front door but leaving the windows unlocked.

On the other hand, if the server is behind a firewall which provides
very limited access, .... maybe it would be useful..

What do you think?  And what do you think about the actual implementation?
Is it doable?

Thanks in advance,
Bill
