Authentication

All organizations must have bullet-proof authentication in place to ensure sensitive data is not breached. Authentication must be secure but easy for the user.

With StoneGate SSL VPN you can select your authentication method from over 20 different alternatives from Mobile ID to plain password. The most suitable method can be chosen for each resource separately.

In addition to single factor authentication, StoneGate SSL enables strong multi-factor authentication without the complexity of distributing hardware tokens.

Authentication methods

The Authentication Service offers six integrated authentication methods relying on the RADIUS protocol:

StoneGate Mobile Text
StoneGate Web
StoneGate Challenge
StoneGate Password
StoneGate Synchronized
StoneGate OATH

Support for RADIUS authentication methods such as SafeWord and SecurID and backend systems such as Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP/LDAPS, Novell eDirectory, IBM Tivoli e IBM RACF is also included.
Special support for Federation ID protocols such as SAML 2.0 and ADFS allows implementation of interoperable authentication systems located in different domains.

Access control is specified by means of roles that link user groups with resources. A number of authentication methods can be set for each resource and it is also possible to specify multiple authentication methods for a specific resource. Examples of authentication methods are client certificates and RADIUS compliant methods. All authentication methods can be used in combination.
