Chapter 10: Setting Up Authentication
Supported authentication methods
SNK (SecureNet Key)/Symantec Defender authentication
If your organization operates a Defender Security Server (DSS) (made by
Symantec Corporation) you can use it to provide fixed password, challenge/
response, or password + challenge/response authentication for SOCKS5,
Telnet, and FTP sessions through Sidewinder G2. It can also be used to
authenticate logins and SSH logins to Sidewinder G2. Web sessions can also
be authenticated but are limited to using the password authentication method.
SecurID authentication
If your organization operates an ACE/Server (made by RSA Security, Inc.) you
can use it to provide fixed or one-time password authentication for login,
SOCKS5, Telnet, FTP, Web, and SSH sessions to the Sidewinder G2. For this
authentication method, users enter a PIN and a passcode that is displayed on
the user’s SecurID authenticator.
RADIUS authentication
If your organization operates a RADIUS server, you can use it to provide strong
authentication for SOCKS5, Telnet, FTP, and Web sessions through the
Sidewinder G2. It can also be used to authenticate logins and SSH logins to
the Sidewinder G2.
SafeWord RemoteAccess and SafeWord PremierAccess are RADIUS servers
that have been certified for full interoperability with the Sidewinder G2. As
shown in Table 24, each method provides strong authentication using
passcodes for SOCKS5, Telnet, and FTP sessions through the Sidewinder G2,
and for authenticating logins and SSH logins to the Sidewinder G2. Web
sessions can also be authenticated, but are limited to using fixed passwords or
passcodes without a challenge/response option.
