Authentication Tools: Page 4 of 32


NavisRadius can be hosted under Apple Mac OS X, Hewlett-Packard HP-UX, Microsoft Windows 2003, Red Hat Linux and Sun Solaris. The product interoperates with certificates for device authentication, accepts self-signing certificates, and generates both server and user certificates.

We began our tests by running the full-featured and powerful Policy Assistant wizard to help with setup. We found a long list of possible user-information databases to authenticate against--all major types and companies are represented. Within the database types were options for dealing with EAP (all varieties) and many other authentication variations. In another section, we could specify multiple servers for failover or load balancing. When we ran into snags, we clicked over to the NavisRadius Web site; its documentation, tech notes and plug-ins discussion forum were helpful.
