HID Global ActivID Appliance

摘要

HID Global ActivID Appliance -FT 5000SCA offers a wide variety of strong authentication measures for several services and online applications. These include VPN/remote access, terminal services, web-based internal or cloud applications, RADIUS, SAMLv2-based authentication portal and web-service APIs. We evaluated the physical device. However, it is also available as a virtual appliance. The initial configuration onto our network was simple and straightforward. All of the steps for setup were explained in the quick-start guide and we needed nothing more than that. Once we had the network details put into place, we switched over to the web interface and finished the configuration. When we first navigated to the web interface, we were guided through a step-by-step setup to enable all the components we wanted, as well as configuration of all the users for the interfaces and portals. Next, the appliance loads up an embedded Oracle database and the remaining configuration is done without any user involvement. It took about a half hour for this to finish. After that was done, the interface was a bit slow when navigating between the portals to see where we could access the services this appliance offers.
