About RSA RADIUS Server
RSA RADIUS Server is a complete implementation of the industry-standard
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) protocols.
RSA RADIUS Server is designed to meet the access control and policy
management requirements of enterprises. It interfaces with a wide variety of
network access servers—including virtual private networks (VPNs), dial-in
servers, and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs)—and authenticates
remote and WLAN users against your existing security infrastructure. This lets
you control who can access your network and what resources are available to
them, and requires little administration beyond your current management of LAN
users. RSA RADIUS Server then logs all access usage, so you can track and
document usage statistics.
RSA RADIUS Server Features
X Centralized management of user access control and security.
X Support for a wide variety of 802.1X-compliant access points and other
network access servers ensures compatibility in your network environment.
X Support for a variety of authentication methods, including Tunneled
Transport Layer Security (TTLS), Protected Extensible Authentication
Protocol (PEAP), Generic Token Card, RSA Security EAP (EAP-15), and
Protected One-Time Password (EAP-32).
X Use of encryption keys eliminates the possibility of spoofing or masquerading
as an “imposter agent.”
