4 NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework Overview In thischapter: About NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework NetIQ Server Appiance Functionaity Terms About NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework is a software soution that enhances the standard user authentication process by providing an opportunity to ogon with various types of authenticators. Why choose NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework? NetIQ Advanced Authentication Framework......makes the authentication process easy and secure (no compex passwords, secret words, etc.)...prevents unauthorized use of your computer...protects you from fraud, phishing and simiar iega actions onine...can be used to provide secure access to your office NetIQ Server Appiance Functionaity Benefits of using NetIQ Server appiance are evident. NetIQ Server appiance... is cross-patform contains an inbuit RADIUS server supportsintegration with NetIQ AccessManager does not require scheme extending providesadministrators with a capabiity of editing the configured settingsthrough webbased NetIQ Admin Interface 4

5 Terms In thischapter: Authenticator Authentication Chain Authentication Method Event Authenticator Authenti cator is data submitted by a user for the purpose of his/ her personaity vaidation. Both common character strings (e.g. symboic password) and data received from a hardware authentication device (e.g. digita fingerprint mode, memory card ID) can appear as an authenticator. Two authenticator types are usuay distinguished: reference authenticator and current authenticator. Reference authenticator isdata submitted by a user to the system asa part of registration procedure, whie current authenti cator - a part of authentication procedure. Particuar characteristics of these data depend on the authentication method seected by the user, such as password, or digita fingerprint mode, or memory card ID, etc. A successfu ogon isperformed ony when the reference and current authenticators match. Authentication Chain Authentication Chai n is a configured authentication process in which a user must pass credentias to a modue instances defined in it. It means that authentication chain processes requests and appies severa authentication methods. Authentication chains are configured ony when a singe set of credentias is not sufficient. Authentication Method Aut hent icat ion met hod verifies the identity of someone who wants to access data, resources, or appications. Vaidating that identity estabishes a trust reationship for further interactions. 5

6 Event Event is the authentication moment or appication where the framework shoud authenticate to. 6

7 NetIQ Server Appiance Depoyment To increase performance, it is recommended to insta severa NetIQ Servers in the domain. In this case, the servers wi automaticay join in a custer and function as an integra authentication service. It wi increase not ony the speed of the requests processing, but aso the safety of the whoe system. Instaing severa NetIQ Servers aso increases faut toerance. If for some reason one of the servers stops, the user sti has a possibiity to ogon by authenticator. In thischapter: Instaing NetIQ Server Appiance First Login to NetIQ Admin Interface Configuring NetIQ Server Appiance 7

8 Instaing NetIQ Server Appiance NetIQ Server appiance can be instaed in graphic or text mode. For more information, see the Instaing Server chapter of the Server - Instaation Guide. After the instaation of NetIQ Server appiance, it is required to configure the mode the appiance wi run. Seect one of the foowing server modes: Standaone is used for demo. It is an a- sufficient server that is not suitabe for production environment. Farm Starter is the first instaed server. It wi have the master roe and wi initiaize the database and generate encryption keys for your environment. Farm Member is every extra server. The fie created at your Farm Starter shoud be imported and connected to your environment. 8

9 St andaone To configure the St andaone server: 1. Go to the NetIQ Admin Interface. Enter the URL in the browser's navigation bar in the foowing format: / <IP Address>/ admin/ (the required URL is dispayed after NetIQ Server instaation). Read the Hep wizard. Cick Cose after reading it. 2. Seect the St andaone server mode and cick Next. 3. Cick the Save & Rest art button to write configuration and restart services. Services wi berestartedwithin30seconds. 9
