=head1 NAME

ace_initd -  ACE Authentication daemon for Apache::AuthenSecurID::Auth 

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # Configuration in /etc/ace_initd.conf   

 VAR_ACE /the/ace/data/directory
 port 1969 
 AuthCryptKey Encryption_Key
 syslog local2


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This daemon handles the ACE authentication requests for the 
Apache::SecurID::Auth module.  It is a single threaded, single
fork server that listens on a specified UDP port.  Incoming requests
are decrypted and requests forwarded to the ACE server.  If a specific
request is in either in NEXT TOKEN MODE or SET PIN MODE the Authen::ACE
object is not deleted.  It is instead kept in memory to handle those
specific requests later.
