3476.0. "90M user certificate" by USCTR1::16.157.224.231::ERICGAN (NPBU s/s) Fri Mar 21 1997 12:50

Hi,
Does our DS 90M support user's certificate via ppp dial up?
(only with the 90M's firmware in hardware, without any outside software)

Thanks,
eric

RE: .0

Please explain what a "user certificate" is?

Regards,

Dave

3476.2for example:NETRIX::"eirc gan@bejvc"ericganSun Mar 23 1997 11:1511
For example:
In the dial up user's interface, it should display:
"user name: xxxxx "
"password: xxxxx"
Then he can enter the network.

And one 90M can supports more user names in every port.

That's all.

RE: .2

DNAS has extensive user authentication features.  We support usernames,
passwords adn simple user profiles stored on the DECserver (in NVRAM).
We also support distributed user authentication via: RADIUS, SecurID and
Kerberos V4.

What I thought you meant was some form of "single sign on" or Windows
NT Domain authentication (that provides single sign on).

Have you looked at the Security chapters of the NAS Management Guide?

Regards,

Dave

Yes.  This feature is intended to support small offices and act as a 
"backup" authentication method should the server-based ones be down.  You 
could possibly get up to 30 users in the NVRAM, if their names, passwords, 
etc are short.  The limit is by total character count, not by a fixed number
of entries.

Regards,

Dave
