  AMHERST, NH, Jan 15 (MARKET WIRE) -- 
 Lotusphere 2008 attendees will be among the first to preview the release of
PistolStar's Web Set Password 8, which the Company will exhibit at booth
#627.  This latest upgrade of PistolStar's browser-based password authentication
and
security solution enhances security for IBM Lotus Domino 8 by offering strong
authenticationcapabilities, designed for banking and financial services
applications but
also relevant to the government, military and other industries that deal with
highly sensitive data.  PistolStar's booth will also highlight its newest
Password Power Plug-Ins and solutions offering Microsoft Active Directory(R)
integration, enterprise single sign-on and adaptive authentication -- best
practices for ensuring consistently strong authentication.

    Web Set Password 8's strong authentication features include site seals for
secure Internet authentication; multi-factor authentication with username,
password
and challenge question and answer; multiple challenge questions for self-service
password recovery; time-of-day restrictions on logins; and inactive user
lockout after a configurable number of days.  Responding to the needs of
enterprise customers, Web Set Password 8 prevents multiple users from using the
same login credentials and stops individual users from logging into multiple
machines simultaneously.

    Web Set Password 8 provides IT administrators with further enhancements to
its password security functionality and without increasing Help Desk
calls.For example, administrators can now configure the number of password
strike-outs
allowed for each user and will receive an alert when a strike count is exceeded.
 Users now have the option of logging in to Domino HTTP with Active Directory
credentials.

    Web Set Password 8 synchronizes end-users' Lotus Domino HTTP, Microsoft
Windows,
and Active Directory passwords, as well as their IBM Lotus Notes ID files;
therefore, they only need to remember one password for accessing these systems
and
can gain single sign-on access to all IBM Lotus Domino domains.  With Web Set
Password 8, end-users can perform self-service password management, resetting
their
passwords from offsite locations or on the road.  This allows administrators
to free up the time and resources used to respond to password-related requests.

    "We welcome PistolStar's contributions as an Advanced level member of IBM
PartnerWorld and look forward to their continued development of password
management tools for the Lotus platform," said Kevin Cavanaugh, vice president
messaging and collaboration, IBM Lotus Software.  "This latest PistolStar roll
out is an exciting addition to the ecosystem of solutions for the Lotus
community."

    PistolStar will also showcase other new products released in recent
months,such as the Plug-In for Lotus Domino Single Sign-On Via Kerberos, the
Plug-In
for IBM Lotus Sametime Connect Single Sign-On Via Kerberos, and the Lotus
Domino CRL Enforcement Plug-In.  An Advanced Level member of IBM
PartnerWorld, PistolStar provides multiple platform support with a
comprehensive set of secure password authentication and management solutions
that
offer tremendous business payback -- increased productivity, improved
efficiencies and
password management and security best practices -- delivering an immediate
return
on investment.  End users, IT administrators and corporate management
equally benefit from these solutions, experiencing remarkable ease and
convenience with managing passwords and gaining secure and trouble-free access
to
multiple enterprise applications and intranets, directories and extranets.
