Description

SecuGen Enterprise NMAS Login Method is a powerful and secure login method for Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) based on SecuGen's fingerprint technology.

You can increase the security of information and resources in your network by requiring users to prove who they are using the most popular biometric identifier: their fingerprint. Unlike passwords, cards or tokens, fingerprints cannot be lost, forgotten, misplaced or stolen.

What's Included

• Login Server Method: Server software that authenticates users logging into eDirectory by comparing their fingerprints with their enrolled fingerprints in the directory using SecuGen's matching algorithms.
• Login Client Method: Client software that allows SecuGen fingerprint readers to communicate with the Novell Client for fingerprint login.
• Admin Tools: Administrators use the SecuGen snap-in to ConsoleOne to enroll, maintain or delete* user fingerprint data. Provided Diagnostic Tool* determines if a user's fingerprint data already exists in the directory.
  

Features

• Easy to use fingerprints: Enroll fingers and logon with one touch - via SecuGen's user-friendly graphical interface wizards.
• Supports multiple fingers: Enroll up to ten (10) fingers to ensure that finger injuries won't block access by authorized users.
• Flexible registration: Administrators can choose to provide monitored or self-registration* of user fingerprints.
• Powerful security: Administrators can set two types of Security Thresholds* in ConsoleOne.
• The higher of either one is applied at logon.
  - System-Wide Security Threshold
  - Individual User Security Threshold
• No new training needed: Administration of all fingerprint profiles are managed through the existing ConsoleOne utility that manages all network resources. There
   are no new administrative tools or interfaces to learn beyond simple fingerprint enrollment procedures.
  
  * New in version 2.2
