Authentication

SonicWALL Authentication Service is a subscription-based upgrade to SonicWALL VPN that provides affordable and reliable user authentica-tion over the Internet using Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and digital certificates. This service ensures the identity of the VPN user before granting access to your valuable, confidential resources. Partnering with VeriSign, the leading trusted infrastructure provider, SonicWALL's Authentication Service provides network administrators with an easy and flexible solution.

The ease of digital certificate management gives network administrators flexibility and control. Network administrators can quickly issue and revoke digital certificates for VPN users to manage access to resources. Because certificates are delivered via a secure, Web-based (HTTPS) server, administration time and costs are reduced.

SonicWALL's integrated Authentication Service gives administrators flexible management options, allowing device-by-device configuration or global control via SonicWALL Global Management System.

With the SonicWALL Authentication Service, organisations can take advantage of the power of PKI and digital certificates without the high cost and complexity of building the infrastructure.

• Strong VPN authentication using PKI and digital certificates
• Easy VPN client deployment and management
• Reduces digital certificate distribution costs
