Activldentity 4TRESS Authentication Appliance FT2011

摘要

Activldentity 4TRESS Authentication Appliance FT2011 is a versatile server providing strong authentication to a wide range of services and online applications - such as virtual private networks (VPN), remote access, terminal services and web-based applications - through RADIUS, SAML v2-based authentication portal and web-service APIs. The tool is available as a hardware or virtual appliance. We evaluated the physical device. We set up the tool using the terminal interface. We had to run a health check on the appliance and then perform the initial configuration to put it on our network. Once the network details are provided, one can browse to the secure web interface to perform the remaining configuration. At this point, we enabled the various components, such as the authentication server, portal, management console and token portal. We configured the various users for the interfaces/ portals and let the setup complete. The process took about an hour. The appliance comes complete with an embedded Oracle database, and configuration of it is all done without any direct involvement. Once the product is loaded, one will need to note the various portals and communication ports for accessing various services. Anything needed can be accessed via the various appliance portals. It just takes some time to navigate back and forth among all the portals.
