Glossary

A

Aggressive mode

An IKE mechanism used in the first phase of establishing a security

 

association. Aggressive mode accomplishes the same authentication

 

negotiating goal between clients as Main mode but faster (three packets versus

 

six).

AH/ESP

In an IPSec packet, the Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulation Security

 

Payload (ESP) header. IKE VPNs authenticate IP packets using either an ESP

 

header as defined in draft-ietf-ipsec-esp-v2-03.txt, or AH as defined in IETF

 

draft-ietf-ipsec-auth-header-04.txt.

Alarms

When a security gateway in the VPN reports an alarm condition, details about

 

the alarm including type, timestamp, and the originating security gateway can

 

be found in the VPNmanager main screen Alarm pane.

Authentication

Generic

 

The process of ensuring that the data received is the same data that was sent

 

from the source.

 

Local

 

Local Authentication is used in non-dynamic VPNs (VPNs not using RADIUS or

 

a directory server (LDAP) as the authentication database). Here, the user is

 

authenticated from the database stored in the security gateway’s flash memory.

 

RADIUS

 

RADIUS Authentication uses an external RADIUS server and database for user

 

authentication.

 

LDAP

 

LDAP Authentication uses the designated directory server database for user

 

authentication.

B

Brute Force Attack A hack attack that attempts to recover a cryptographic key by trying all reasonable possibilities.

C

CCD

Client Configuration Download. The protocol used to download the VPN

 

session parameter configuration file from the security gateway to the remote

 

client as part of a successful authentication when the security gateway is

 

configured for Local Authentication.
