[TriLUG] Has anyone used SSL-Explorer?

It seems like this would be susceptible to a password attack if it's polling directly against AD for authentication. Do any of these work with two-way authentication mechanisms such as a RSA SecurID FOB?

We started testing with SSLExplorer and found it limiting for our
needs.  We ended up going with a commercial SSL VPN solution by Array
Networks.  It works great, although so far I've only technically
tested with WinXP Pro due to that being our corp environment.
