Entrust IdentityGuard for Enterprise

Get Technical

Entrust IdentityGuard is a server-based software product that has been designed to be installed as part of an organization Web infrastructure. It is written in Java and runs on the Microsoft Windows Server 2003, Sun Solaris and Linux operating systems.

The Entrust IdentityGuard solution has been developed to help meet the scalability requirements of large-scale enterprise applications:

  • designed to have several servers deployed at one time in a load-balanced environment, allowing for increased throughput by adding additional servers
  • Entrust IdentityGuard can be configured to cache user and card information, helping to accelerate employee authentication
  • designed to work with leading IP-SEC and SSL VPN remote access vendors, such as Nortel, Cisco and Juniper. This is done using the Radius standard to ensure rapid, consistent integration across remote access products
  • standard Microsoft Windows client can be easily deployed using Active Directory Group Policy and Windows Installer Services stand alone or with a radius server
  • Building on Entrust IdentityGuard's standard Web services approach to integration, Entrust IdentityGuard now supports protecting leading applications like Microsoft Outlook Web Access via a standard plug-in to either Microsoft IIS or Microsoft ISA Server

Security operations – including generating, encrypting and decrypting card contents – these functions are performed using Entrust FIPS 140-2 certified cryptographic software. This helps improves the security for the contents of each card, and helps reduce the risk of a rogue employee successfully tampering with card information in the repository.
