If your network includes several different operating systems, you know that managing users and their authorities across all of those systems can be difficult. New Dimension Software , provides products to help you manage security in this environment. Some Enterprise security policies require users, especially security officers, to use one-time passwords preventing devious individuals from stealing a user's password. The password is only good for one signon - then the password for that user changes. If you haven't yet heard about digital certificates, you will in the near future.
Digital certificates are an electronic means of identifying a user.
The HTTP Server provides you with the ability to limit which programs and directories can be served and decide who can see certain Web pages. It can be configured to perform authentication for selected Web applications, requiring the browser to query the user for some identification before the user sees more information. For example, before seeing any investment brokerage account information, the application could require the user to enter their user name and password for their account. Or, in V4R3, the application could require the user to provide their digital certificate as a form of identification. The ability to configure the Web server to authenticate users for a Web application provides flexibility for your Web applications.
