aXsGUARD Gatekeeper Single Sign-On Utility (SSO) How To v1.6 Concept and Features 2.6 SSL Secured Connection The Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is a commonly-used protocol for managing the security of message transmissions on a network. For additional security, aXsGUARD Gatekeeper SSO Authentication Utility uses SSL to communicate with the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. The aim is to prevent sensitive information, such as user credentials, from being intercepted when they are transmitted over the local network between the user's client PC and the aXsGUARD Gatekeeper (see the image below). SSL is enabled by default when the SSO Utility is installed. 2.7 Auto Adjustment of Proxy Settings The aXsGUARD Gatekeeper SSO Authentication Utility offers the possibility to automatically adjust the user's Internet browser's proxy server settings after authentication. When the user signs off or when closing his/her laptop without signing off or shutting down (a.k.a. suspend mode), the initial browser settings are restored. This is a major convenience for users as well as the system administrator(s), as the browser settings never have to be manually adjusted. Note Image 2: SSL Secured Connection This feature only applies to Windows platforms. It is not available for Linux until further notice. © 2009 - VASCO Data Security 14
aXsGUARD Gatekeeper Single Sign-On Utility (SSO) How To v1.6 Concept and Features 2.8 Automatic Updates 2.9 User Profiles Your aXsGUARD Gatekeeper automatically checks the VASCO back office for new versions of the software. As soon as an update becomes available, it is downloaded to your aXsGUARD Gatekeeper. In turn, the SSO Authentication Utility periodically checks your aXsGUARD Gatekeeper and notifies the user when a new version is available for installation by displaying a message in the system tray (see below). This makes system administration easier and also saves Internet bandwidth. The SSO Authentication Utility Windows installer is compressed in a zip file. The Linux version is compressed in a tgz file. Image 3: SSO Utility Update Notification A user profile holds the SSO Authentication Utility configuration for a specific aXsGUARD Gatekeeper user. The advantage is that you can define multiple profiles per user account, e.g. a profile per office location as shown below. Image 4: SSO User Profiles © 2009 - VASCO Data Security 15
