Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server - Manual (Page 16)

Security Zone
The Security Zone feature prevents individuals from setting up an Apple Remote
Access MultiPort Server or Apple Remote Access Personal Server without an
authorizing password. Security Zone software is provided in the Apple Remote
Access MultiPort Server Toolkit folder included on the installation CD-ROM
disc. For instructions on how to implement this feature, see the Read Me file
provided with the software in the Apple Remote Access Security folder.
IMPORTANT If a router advertises a security zone, make sure the security zone
is available when the Remote Access MuliPort Server ports are configured and
turned on. Otherwise users will be disconnected and the port turned off when
they attempt to dial in. See the Read Me file provided with the Security Zone
software for more information.
External security
You can provide an additional level of security by implementing third-party,
external security. For example, additional security would be appropriate for
those who need roving access. Two types of external security are available:
line-level security and protocol-level security.
Line-level security provides security at the telephone-line level and usually
consists of hardware that is connected to the server and a security software
module that is placed on the clients’ workstations.
Protocol-level security provides security at the software level and usually
consists of security software modules that are placed on both the server and
the clients’ workstations. You can install more than one security module on an
Apple Remote Access MultiPort Server computer and client workstations, but
you can activate only one security module at a time.
Once you install the security module, you can decide if all users or only selected
users must be validated by this type of security when they dial in to the server.
