Authentication for Novell

Dekart Logon for Novell is a security solution that is designed to integrate with your Novell Directory Service (eDirectory) environment. Authentication and authorization is gained by inserting a key into the PC`s USB port and by entering a PIN number. Dekart Logon for Novell performs a high level user authentication, ensuring that only authorized users can access the network resources.

Dekart Logon for Novell is designed to work with Novell eDirectory v 8.5 and higher. Dekart Logon for Novell is a cross-platform, fully integrated solution employing the latest cryptographic methods to protect your local and remote access Novell eDirectory environment.

Dekart Logon for Novell is fully compatible with all Novell products, as well as other 3rd party solutions including BorderManager, GroupWise, Account Management, ZENworks, DirXML, eGuide, iChain, SecureLogin and others.

One of the main difficulties when combating security problems is human error. An unattended terminal or computer may result in unauthorized access or entry to sensitive data. To eliminate this problem, Dekart's Dekart Logon for Novell solution makes it easy to lock consoles while away from the workplace, simply by removing the eToken key.

The hardware key is the reason that Dekart Logon for Novell is such an effective solution as it uses a two factor authentication mechanism, which combines both hardware and software components. Standard password technology is not sufficient to protect your sensitive data. Because Dekart Logon for Novell employs state of the art authentication methods, even if the hardware key is lost or stolen, accessing the login information will be nearly impossible. The Dekart Logon for Novell solution stores user login information in its PIN protected memory preventing it from possible interception.

The eToken USB key is a fully-functional analogue of a smart card designed to operate as a token. It connects directly to the PC`s USB port without the need for additional readers or other devices. The eToken key is encased in a water-resistant half-transparent shell and features an LED work indicator. It is compact and can easily be placed on a key ring. Dekart Logon for Novell is fully interoperable with other Dekart applications, meaning that the user can employ the same eToken USB key for a number of security solutions.

Features and Benefits

	Enhanced 32 byte Authentication eSecure Authentication's enhanced authentication solution features a random 32 byte identification number coupled with a unique ID code embedded within the eToken key. The result translates to increased security.
