Seamless Integration with Novell eDirectory & NMAS – allows administrators to extend (not replace) and strengthen existing infrastructure by adding strong authentication methods. No need to learn new interfaces. No need to set up and manage new infrastructure.
Mix & Match Strong Authentication – SAFmodule allows enterprises to take advantage of a wide variety of strong authentication technologies such as smart cards, fingerprint authentication, iris recognition, speaker verification and facial recognition. Along with NMAS, administrators can also mix in proximity cards, tokens, badges, and Entrust X.509 digital certificates.
Two- & Three-Factor Authentication – along with NMAS, combine something you know (like a PIN) with something you have (such as a token, smart card or badge) and/or with something you are (namely fingerprint, iris, voice or face).
Vendor & Technology Independent – SAFmodule supports a wide variety of biometric hardware devices, allowing enterprises to choose the technology(s) that best fit the environment.
User Authority Delegation™ – allows assistants and generic account end users to biometrically log on using another authorized identity, providing essential audit and administrator controls not possible through password sharing.
Remote Connectivity – biometric authentication over remote sessions available with SAFremote Authenticator™, an add-on product to SAFmodule that enables strong authentication over Citrix® MetaFrame, Windows® Terminal Services and XP Remote Desktop sessions.
Choice of Enrollment Methods – in addition to administrator-controlled enrollments, administrators can allow users to self-enroll (optional or required) using our enrollment wizard.
Fast Enroll™ – allows administrators to enroll a large number of end-users very efficiently. Great when rolling out biometrics to large enterprises.
Disconnected Logon – log on biometrically to your workstations whether connected to a network or not. Protects workstations with strong authentication…even when on the road!
Strong Authentication for Specific Applications – SAFmodule ships with adapters to enable strong authentication into additional Single Sign-On (SSO) programs. SSO uses workstation and/or network login to biometrically authenticate into specific enterprise and web applications, further protecting key enterprise assets.
PROTECTING YOUR ENTERPRISE THROUGH SECURE AUTHENTICATION™SAFmodule provides your organization with the following business benefits:
- Increased network security using your choice of biometrics, smart cards, tokens, and badges
- Increased convenience for end-users – no more passwords to remember!
- Eliminates password problems and reduces help desk support costs
- Ensures end-user compliance with security policies
- Reduces liability and facilitates compliance with industry regulations and legislation
- Provides long-term return on investment due to open standards-based architecture
SAFmodule™ with Novell® eDirectory® and NMAS™Originally called Novell Directory Service (NDS), Novell eDirectory was the first full-service directory available. Today, eDirectory’s award-winning feature set and massive scalability provides administrators with a cost-effective way to manage network users and resources and provide multi-platform network services. eDirectory serves as the foundation for the world’s largest identity management deployments – allowing enterprises to manage user identities and to control user access for employees, customers and partners. With the latest release, Novell eDirectory customers also benefit from Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS). NMAS provides eDirectory with a unique security framework that allows administrators to utilize, customize, and manage a wide range of strong authentication methods – anything from simple passwords to smart cards to biometrics. SAFmodule utilizes NMAS third-party interfaces to provide biometric and smart card login methods in addition to those shipped with NMAS. NMAS supports graded and multi-factor authentication which allows administrators to customize sequences using SAFmodule and/or NMAS methods, such as biometrics plus smart cards or passwords plus biometrics plus PKI-based smart cards. Finally, SAFmodule stores biometric and user preferences in eDirectory so administrators can fully leverage existing IT investment without the cost and hassle of re-implementing network monitoring, replication, or disaster recovery. SAFmodule supports eDirectory and NMAS running on both Netware and Windows Server 2000.
