Chapter 10: Setting Up Authentication<br />

Supported authentication methods<br />

<strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> supports standard UNIX password authentication, Windows<br />

Domain authentication, and the following stronger authentication methods:<br />

SafeWord PremierAccess and SafeWord RemoteAccess (from Secure<br />

Computing Corporation), SecureNet Key (SNK) from Symantec Corporation,<br />

and SecurID from RSA Security, Inc. <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> also supports the<br />

widely-used RADIUS authentication protocol and the Lightweight Directory<br />

Access Protocol (LDAP). All <strong>of</strong> these can be used to authenticate SOCKS5,<br />

Telnet, FTP, and Web connections through the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong> and<br />

administrator log in connections to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Table 23 provides a brief summary <strong>of</strong> the authentication methods supported by<br />

the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>.<br />

Note: Single Sign-On (SSO) can be used in conjunction with the authentication<br />

methods listed below to cache a user’s initial authentication, thereby allowing<br />

access to multiple services with a single authentication to the <strong>Sidewinder</strong> <strong>G2</strong>. For<br />

information on configuring SSO, see “Configuring SSO” on page 300.<br />
