Conclusion Bay Networks Value-Added RADIUS Solution

ISPs are busy providing new remote access

technologies,including higher-speed

DSP

modems and ISDN capabilities,to their

Enterprise subscribers. To leverage this

investment,

ISPs can offer VPN dial-in

services to their Enterprise subscribers with-

out the tremendous overhead entailed in

managing user-level authentication and

authorization issues,or in supporting “free-

ware”

RADIUS servers at subscriber sites.

Most Enterprise subscriber environments

today are already using Microsoft Windows

NT,Novell NetWare,or UNIX authentication

to manage access.It makes sense for sub-

scribers to use their existing infrastructure

to manage all types of remote access for

authentication,authorization,and accounting.

This practice also increases control,since all

access is managed locally and can be audited

with full assurance that all entries into the

LAN are accounted for.The major remote

access and firewall vendors support the

RADIUS standard,so that subscribers’invest-

ment in Windows

NT,NetWare,or UNIX

is protected.

RADIUS provides a complete solution,

centralizing authentication,authorization,

and accounting for all remote access.

Because it integrates Proxy

RADIUS authen-

tication with the existing Windows

NT,

NetWare,or

UNIX user directory databases,

it simplifies administration.And because it

runs as either a Windows

NT service,a

NetWare Loadable Module

(NLM),or a UNIX

service on a network file server or host,it

does not require additional expensive and

difficult-to-manage hardware devices.

Bay Networks provides one of the most

sophisticated,comprehensive

RADIUS

solutions available.Bay Networks has cham-

pioned the

RADIUS standard by participating

and driving the

RADIUS definition in both

the

IETF and in the Merit industry consor-

tium,thus ensuring full compliance to the

RADIUS IETF RFCs 2138 and 2139.Bay

Networks

RADIUS strategy incorporates

industry compliance and a comprehensive,

turn-key

RADIUS solution.Bay Networks

includes

RADIUS client support in its remote

access router product lines (See Table

2).

These clients are complemented by the

BaySecure Access Control

RADIUS server

technology,licensed from Funk Software,

which won the

LAN Times Best Product Of

The Year award in February,

1997,and

Network Computing’s Best Connected

award for authentication services in May of

1997.BaySecure Access Control

fulfills

RADIUS server requirements for both the ISP

and Enterprise sites.For further information
