About RSA RADIUS Server

RSA RADIUS Server is a complete implementation of the industry-standard RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) protocols.

RSA RADIUS Server is designed to meet the access control and policy management requirements of enterprises. It interfaces with a wide variety of network access servers—including virtual private networks (VPNs), dial-in servers, and wireless LAN (WLAN) access points (APs)—and authenticates remote and WLAN users against your existing security infrastructure. This lets you control who can access your network and what resources are available to them, and requires little administration beyond your current management of LAN users. RSA RADIUS Server then logs all access usage, so you can track and document usage statistics.

RSA RADIUS Server Features

XCentralized management of user access control and security.

XSupport for a wide variety of 802.1X-compliant access points and other network access servers ensures compatibility in your network environment.

XSupport for a variety of authentication methods, including Tunneled Transport Layer Security (TTLS), Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP), Generic Token Card, RSA Security EAP (EAP-15), and Protected One-Time Password (EAP-32).

XUse of encryption keys eliminates the possibility of spoofing or masquerading as an “imposter agent.”
