RE: Authentication to ExtraNet services

[Martin Barnard <martin-barnard () foster-melliar com>]

Hi Shaun,

Another one you might want to have a look at is WebThority from Symantec
(prev. Axent)
It provides multiple authentication options with personalisation information
for the backend.
Others include products from Entrust and Netegrity .

Martin Barnard

Why don't you look at products like.

Tivoli Policy Director
Securant Clear Trust

Or Many Products like this that allow Policy based Reverse Proxy Access.

What are people doing about authentication of external users from the
Internet before being allowed access into an ExtraNet type system
(delivered
by a browser).

The application usually requires personalisation and therefore some form of
authentication itself but of course it would be really really nice to
authenticate the user on a more secure device even before a single packet
hits that oh so normally easilly crackable web server.

But of course - no one likes to authenticate twice.

Are there any products people are using - have used sucessfully - the only
one I know about is the Aventail ExtraWeb product but its unix only
availability affects its ability to be deployed into NT only shops.

Any thoughts - comments - views - abuse :-)

Ta - Shaun
