Strong Authentication for Novell eDirectory via NMAS with One-Time Password Tokens

For Novell eDirectory customers concerned by rising security threats and weakness of password authentication, ActivIdentity provides a strong authentication solution fully integrated with the Novell environment to enable secure, easy and cost-efficient access to network applications and resources.

The solution natively integrates with the Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) to provide secure access to Novell directory and all other Novell applications leveraging NMAS.

Features and benefits

Comply with security requirements - address IT security and compliance requirements by preventing unauthorized access to information.
Enhance security by enforcement of two-factor authentication: something the user has (the one-time password token) and something the user knows (the PIN code).
Ease of deployment - no third-party server is required, all user and device information is stored in Novell eDirectory.
Reduced administrative costs - all management functions, including full token life cycle management is done within the iManager console, avoiding the need for a new management console paradigm.
Return on investment – by integrating with Novell Modular Authentication Service (NMAS) this solution enables access to all Novell products that leverage NMAS authentication.

How it works

With the ActivIdentity NMAS Method, static passwords are replaced by two-factor authentication: the user generates a one-time password with a handheld security token. This password is valid only once so it cannot be replayed, and the token is unusable without the associated PIN code.
