Novell Components Description NMAS Novell® Modular Authentication Service is an extensible security product that offers you an easy way to centrally manage multiple authentication methods across your network.
• • • Proxy-server clustering Server fault tolerance Support for Remote Authentication Dial-I n User Service protocol (RADIUS) Novell iChain is the ideal product to secure and accelerate your company's transformation to eBusiness. It is also a key component of Novell Secure Access™, Novell's comprehensive security suite.
• • • • User-managed passwords are the single largest cause of incorrect authentication VASCO delivers strong authentication and guar antees data integrity for electronic transactions by means of the Digipass Family of Tokens. In the concept, we implemented the cures for the weak areas of authentication and data in tegrity.
our Digipass Family of tokens. These mode s are the Response-Only mode, the Challenge- Response mode and the Digital Signature mode. But first we will start by showing you the complete application cycle of the Digipass token usage.
(Fig 1b) Once this is done, the application ow ner will assign those Digipass secrets to their end-users. This assignment is done based on th e serial number of the Digipass token and the name of the end-user. The Digipass token is th en shipped to the end-user together with a manual and the protected PIN-co de on a secure PIN-mailer.
Airlines site (web server 10.0.0.1), two subnets ar e configured. As the lo cal data or e-business applications resides on the 10.0.0.0 subnet (Fig 3), address translation will enable transparent access. Fig 3 Radius will be the Protocol used for Authentication, as such, a Radius profile needs to be configured.

Select the RADIUS_DAS Service. www.vasco.com ∙ Using Digipass Strong User Authenti cation with Novell NMAS and ICHAIN ∙ 14.
We finished configuring the Radius_DAS Service. Now we need to specify the Radius Protocol . For example Callback , ….. Click Add to configure. www.vasco.

Select RADIUS_DAP and click OK. You can rename it to Radius Dial Access Protocol. When no method is specified, adds `default` . Example. Radius Dial Access Protocol.
NMAS VASCO Digipass import Configure VASCO Digipass container Fig 5 As NMAS has VASCO integrated, there is only th e need to co nfigure th e service and activate it.Configuration of a container for Digipasse s is done through creating a new object in Services.
Fig 6 VASCO Digipass container will contain the VA SCO Digipass token object, for which you can give a friendly name. Fig 6 www.vasco.com ∙ Using Digipass Strong User Authenti cation with Novell NMA.
Fig 7 For importing tokens, a VASCO Digipass token object is created. This object will contain all Digipasses and their functions conform the initializ ation sheet. This is also the location where a user will be assigned a Digipass. Fig 7. In order to import tokens, the location of the dpx file and its’ encryption key need to be provided.
Import Dpx files Fig 8. This is also the location where a user will be a ssigned a Digipass. Fig 8. In order to import tokens, the location of the dpx file and its’ encryption key need to be provided.
Fig 9 Fig 9 represents the DNS structure where Digital Airlines is the applicationas well as the container where all users accessing it, will be re gistered and given permissions, levels of access and type of authentication. Fig 10. By selecting the properties of a newly created user, a Digipass is assigned to that user.
