Authentication and Authorization

Network authentication and authorization are important to security and network policy administration on enterprise networks.  Microsoft’s Internet Authentication Service (IAS) and Network Policy Server (NPS) provides standard RADIUS services for network authentication, and also provides linkage to Active Directory information important in determining network authorization.

Various access control and authentication features are provided in Enterasys Matrix and SecureStack switches, and also in Enterasys RoamAbout wireless products.  The authentication capability works in conjunction with Microsoft’s RADIUS and Active Directory Services to authenticate and authorize users and end-systems in the network environment.  Microsoft RADIUS services are available through Microsoft IAS in Windows Server 2000/2003 and Microsoft NPS in Windows Server 2008.
