PortWise Authentication Server is a solution providing strong versatile authentication to applications and services. PortWise Authentication Server is unique as it does not require the organization to purchase, distribute and maintain expensive hardware tokens for each user. With PortWise Authentication Server you can utilize hardware that the user already has, such as mobile phones, PCs, pagers, or PDAs, to deliver strong one-time passwords.
Versatile Authentication
PortWise Authentication Server is based on industry standards to guarantee operability with existing applications and security infrastructure. Any application, router, firewall or gateway that supports RADIUS can utilize strong versatile authentication from PortWise. Support for non-RADIUS applications is provided through the PortWise web services based SOA interface. PortWise Authentication Server includes the following authentication mechanisms:
- PortWise Web Password - a Java-based online password keypad that runs in the user's web browser.
- PortWise SMS - Combines a static password with a one-time password delivered to a mobile phone, PDA, pager or laptop.
- PortWise OTP Token - a software based OTP client for generating one-time-passwords.
- PortWise OATH- integrated authentication with OATH compliant hardware or software security tokens.
- PortWise Password - provides a basic authentication service based on static passwords.
User Enrolment
PortWise Authentication Server includes automated processes for token distribution, installation and personalization to allow a smooth deployment. Provisioning through LDAP and Active Directory is supported to fully automate the enrolment process without requiring any manual user administration.
