Configuring and displaying Remote Identities<br />

Remote Identities can be created for two purposes. If you choose to<br />

have a Certificate Authority policy defined for a VPN (whereby a<br />

group <strong>of</strong> trusted CAs is authorized to issue certificates for access to the<br />

VPN), you will also require a list <strong>of</strong> Remote Identities. Remote<br />

Identities are used as part <strong>of</strong> a Security Association to determine<br />

which remote certificates from a CA may be used to authenticate to a<br />

VPN. You may also be required to configure a remote identity to be<br />

used in a Security Association for a s<strong>of</strong>tware client, such as the<br />

SafeNet S<strong>of</strong>tRemote client, using pre-shared passwords.<br />

In the Admin Console, select Services Configuration -> Certificate<br />

Management, then select the Remote Identities tab. The following<br />

window appears.<br />

In this tab you can view and modify the list <strong>of</strong> available remote<br />

identities. Remote identities are used to identify the authorized users<br />

who take part in a Security Association and either have been issued a<br />

certificate from a particular CA or use a VPN client configured with a<br />

pre-shared password. For example, as part <strong>of</strong> a remote identity you<br />

might define a Distinguished Name that authorizes only people from<br />

the Sales department <strong>of</strong> Bizco corporation.<br />

In this tab, you can perform the following actions:<br />
