Protecting all your applications
Why strong authentication?
•
Many remote access solutions (such as Citrix and
VPNs) create a secure tunnel through the Internet
•
An important component of security
•
But who is accessing that tunnel?
•
How do you identify your users?
•
Many companies rely just on fixed passwords
Username: jmalkovich Password: being_me
Username: jmalkovich Password: being_me
Internet
The password risk
Passwords are weak because…
•
Only one-factor authentication
•
Easily hacked, stolen, borrowed,
guessed or sniffed
•
Difficult to remember and use
•
Difficult to manage
•
These problems limit the use of
remote access systems
•
Anti-password presentations
Protecting Citrix® remote access
•
Citrix is an increasingly popular for
allowing remote access to desktop
applications
•
PremierAccess protects Citrix today
• Universal Web Agent protects NFuse and Citrix Secure Gateway
• Agent protects ICA traffic
•
Includes consolidated login screen for
one-time passcodes and Windows

About SW4C components
• SW4C consists of the following component
• Core services
• Authentication Engine, Administration Service, and database • SafeWord Active Directory Management Plug-in
• Allows tokens and users to be centrally managed from Active Directory
• Snap-in to the Microsoft Management Console which extends the functionality of Active Directory Users and Computers
• User Center
• Optional web application for user self-service including token enrollment, token testing, and PIN reset
• May be used by the end-user directly or a help desk employee • Agent for MetaFrame XP Web Interface (NFuse Classic)
• Enhances the Web Interface login pages to support SafeWord authentication
Prerequisites for installing SW4C
•
All SW4C components require Windows 2000 Server
• Web Interface is only supported under Windows
• MetaFrame for Unix is supported as long as Web Interface is running under Windows
•
SW4C works both with and without Citrix Secure Gateway
• In practice, however, Secure Gateway is highly recommended
•
SW4C
requires
Active Directory for user management
• MetaFrame environments must be migrated from NT domains to Active Directory
• Token records are stored in the SW4C database
• Users and user-to-token mapping are stored in Active Directory
Prerequisites (continued)
•
SW4C enhances the Web Interface for MetaFrame XP
•
SW4C installer automatically detects the version of NFuse
Classic or W.I. and makes the appropriate modifications
•
SafeWord authentication can be toggled from W.I. Admin
•
Additionally, SW4C allows group-based policies to be built in
order to determine who must strongly authenticate when
accessing applications
Active Directory Integration
•
Expanded Active Directory
plug-in
• SafeWord tab added to standard MMC user management
•
Windows administrators can:
• Assign tokens to users
• Assign, update user PINs

• User enters Active Directory username and token serial numberUser enters Active Directory username and token serial number
• Can save up to 85% when compared to traditional token deploymentsCan save up to 85% when compared to traditional token deployments
Security, Firewall, and OS Issues
• Core components can be installed of any Windows 2000 Server in an Active Directory domain
• Should not be located in a DMZ or other insecure area of the network
• Web Interface for MetaFrame XP agent can be installed on any Windows 2000 Server with IIS that is hosting Web Interface
• Does not necessarily need to be a member of a domain
• Can reside in a DMZ of the network
• Communicates with the core server using an XML-based, SSL-secured protocol
• User Center can be installed on any Windows 2000 Server
• This system does not necessarily need to be a member of a domain
• Can reside in a DMZ of the network
• Includes an embedded web server
• Communicates with the core servers using an XML-based, SSL-secured protocol
