1.0 Introduction

WALLIX® AdminBastion (or WAB) is a solution that you can install in your Information System that provides
information—in real or delayed time—on who did what, where, and how. With WAB, you can control the access of
internal or external IT service providers. You can record service provider work sessions and review them as and
when needed (audit sessions, incidents, etc.).

The HID Global solutions that work with WAB provide versatile, flexible, strong authentication that is scalable and
simple to manage.

There are two main HID Global solutions:

• AAA Server for Remote Access—Addresses the security risks associated with a mobile workforce

remotely accessing systems and data.

• Authentication Server (AS)—Offers support for multiple authentication methods that are useful for

diverse audiences across a variety of service channels (SAML, RADIUS, etc.), including user name
and password, mobile and PC soft tokens, one-time passwords, and transparent Web soft tokens.
