Using SafeWord for Citrix or SafeWord RemoteAccess for Authentication

Both Safeword for Citrix and SafeWord RemoteAccess use Microsoft’s Internet Authentication Server (IAS) to provide RADIUS authentication service to the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway. The IAS RADIUS server receives authentication requests from the Firebox SSL VPN Gateway and sends the user’s credentials to SafeWord for verification using an installed SafeWord agent for IAS. Multiple instances of IAS (with the SafeWord agent for IAS) can be deployed for redundancy.
