Secure Web
Access
|
Benefits & Features
-
Authenticates a user with a user
ID and password, using a challenge-response method
that never transmits the password from the client
system to the server.
-
After establishing a connection,
the client sends the encrypted user ID to the
server.
-
The server responds with a
randomly generated challenge string.
-
The client encrypts the challenge
string, using the client’s password as the
encryption key. If the comparison is successful, the
server grants access to the user. Since the password
is never transmitted, sniffers or other malware
cannot compromise it.
-
Manage users and access groups on
each system individually or from a central user
data-base (CUD) .
-
Security personnel quickly add or
delete users or change User’s Guide access
rights.
