FirePass user authentication security

Aaron - thanks really no definite ideas, jusr fishing to see if anyone has done anything creative. RADIUS itself is fine but how to engineer a separate one time password for the session, something which is no repeatable at a reasonable cost.

 

 

Mike - This is for both Mac and PC although I guess the bigger concern is for the PC at this time. I wasn't aware of MacOS developments for the FirePass, it does seem to be the poor relation at the moment. Is there somewhere to see roadmap info for the FirePass?

 

 

The other thing that I stumbled across today which can be used is an endpoint security check based on something which F5 call "Far-end security integration". This allows a check to be done with Symantec's "Confidence Online for Web Applications". There is an F5 document on this but the FirePass interface and documents refer to it under its previous owner, WholeSecurity. It certainly doesn't seem to be a product that Symantec market very actively and I haven't managed to find licence terms and costs yet. It does seem to rely on an ActiveX componenet to be available on (or downloaded to) the remote client to do the malware scan. I guess it could also be slow but I'm still trying to find out more.

 

 

Does anyone have any experience of using that product?

 

 

Thanks,

 

Kevin
