IETF | Internet Engineering Task Force. Technical subdivision of the Internet |
| Architecture Board that coordinates the development of Internet standards. |
MIB | Management Information Base. |
NAS | Network Access Server. Network device that accepts connection requests from |
| remote users, authenticates users through RADIUS, and routes users onto the |
| network. Identical in meaning to RAS. |
New Pin mode | Status assigned to a user’s token when its PIN has been compromised or when |
| the authorized user has forgotten the PIN. If the administrator clears the PIN, the |
| old PIN can no longer be used for authentication, and the next authentication |
| attempt with the token initiates the New PIN procedure. If the administrator |
| does not clear the PIN, the old PIN can be used one more time. |
Next Tokencode | Status assigned to a user’s token if the token has drifted out of synch with the |
mode | RSA Authentication Manager’s system clock or if there has been a series of |
| unsuccessful authentication attempts. Requiring that the user enter two |
| consecutive tokencodes ensures that the user has possession of the token. |
node secret | Symmetric key used to encrypt communication between RSA RADIUS Server |
| and RSA Authentication Manager. |
PAP | Password Authentication Protocol. |
passcode | A |
| tokencode. |
PEAP | Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol. A |
| protocol where (1) an authentication server is authenticated to a supplicant using |
| a digital certificate and a secure channel is established; and (2) the supplicant is |
| authenticated to the authentication server through the secure channel. |
PIN | Personal Identification Number. The numeric or alphanumeric string that |
| identifies a user as being authorized for a specific RSA SecurID token. |
Primary | A RADIUS server that acts as the hub for database replication. Compare Replica |
RADIUS Server | RADIUS Server. |
profile | A record in the RADIUS database describing the checklist attributes and return list |
| attributes that should be associated with a user or group of users. |
RADIUS | Remote Authentication |
| that functions as an information clearinghouse, storing authentication |
