Aurorean Client Software
Enterasys Networks client software that runs on a Windows 95/98/NT
computer that allows a remote user to create a secure tunneling connection to
a corporate network. This application features the
TollSaver database that
automatically presents a list of ISP
POP
’s to allow the user to select the
lowest-cost connection, and the Prescriptive Diagnostics Engine that
automatically diagnoses connection problems and either corrects the problem
itself or directs the remote user on how to solve the problem.
Aurorean Network Gateway
An Enterasys Networks device that creates a secure virtual private circuit
over the Internet between itself and a remote user’s computer. The Aurorean
Network Gateway encapsulates data packets using
PPTP
and encrypts data
to prevent third-parties from intercepting and examining it. A Aurorean
Network Gateway receive its configuration settings from a
Aurorean Policy
Server and passes login information to the Aurorean Policy Server when a
remote user attempts to authenticate a tunnel connection.
Aurorean Policy Server
An Enterasys Networks device that manages
Aurorean Network
Gateways . Network administrators configure Aurorean Policy Servers
from a
RiverMaster computer
. The network administrator can create a
remote user database on the Aurorean Policy Server or instruct the Aurorean
Policy Server to authenticate remote users against an external authentication
server (such as a RADIUS or SecurID server). When the network
administrator changes tunnel connection parameters, the Aurorean Policy
Server provide updated configuration files to Aurorean Network Gateways
on request.
