Applications can integrate directly to Echidna via the web services interface to provide support for authentication or transaction signing within the application, using any of the Echidna supported authentication mechanisms.
Yes. Most VPN products support delegation of the authentication process to an external authentication server via the RADIUS protocol. This is the simplest path to integrate Echidna for VPN access control.
Echidna can delegate authentication of RSA SecurID tokens to existing RSA authentication server(s) while new security tokens or other 2FA mechanisms are introduced. This allows a low risk migration away from RSA SecurID tokens and ACE servers allowing the existing RSA tokens to be gradually replaced as they naturally expire.
Echidna can be used to delegate all Citrix Access Gateway login authentication requests, and for identifying user profiles for authorization decisions.
Citrix Access Gateway can be configured to use Echidna through the RADIUS protocol.
Microsoft Forefront can be configured to use Echidna through a custom TMG authentication filter. There are some restrictions on the supported authentication delegation types (how the user identity or credentials are passed through to the protected application when needed). This is an inherent limitation in the TMG API.
Microsoft Universal Access Gateway can be configured to use Echidna through the RADIUS protocol for delegation of the login authentication.
Echidna can be used with a CheckPoint Firewall for delegated authentication via RADIUS.
Yes, with additional components deployed. Many Wifi access points that support authentication via RADIUS require the use of the EAP-SSL or EAP-TLS protocol to protect that authentication traffic. Echidna does not yet support this protocol natively, but FreeRADIUS can be deployed to provide the EAP-SSL support and to delegate to Echidna for the actual authentication mechanism.
Echidna does not currently support PKI for standard user login authentication.
Yes, Active Directory passwords can be validated via an LDAP bind to the directory. This allows AD to maintain control over the password policies, lockouts and expiry.
Yes, Echidna supports biometric login to Office 365 by using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In where the Echidna server is located on the premise enabling businesses using Office 365 to provide second factor authentication (2FA) that is stronger than passwords. By using Echidna's ADFS Plug-In, users can authenticate into Office 365 using an Echidna supported security token, such as Salt mCodeXpress Fingerprint Edition on mobile devices that support biometrics hardware for a biometric login.
Yes, Echidna supports biometric login to Salesforce by using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In where Echidna server provides second factor authentication (2FA) which is stronger than passwords. By using Echidna's Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In, users can authenticate into Salesforce using an Echidna supported security token, such as Salt mCodeXpress Fingerprint Edition on mobile devices that support biometrics hardware for a biometric login.
Yes, Echidna enables strong (2FA) two-factor authentication to access Google Drive by using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In. Echidna provides most secure two-factor authentication (2FA) solution that allow organisations to seamlessly extend secure access and store data in cloud repositories on Google Drive by using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In. Echidna provides assurance that sensitive data stored on Google Drive is accessed only through its 2FA security tokens. By using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In, Echidna provides an additional layer of security to the user data located at Google Drive via its mobile security tokens such as Salt mCodeXpress and OATH hardware token.
Yes, Echidna supports biometric login to SharePoint by using Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In where the Echidna server provides two-factor authentication (2FA), which is stronger than passwords. By using Echidna's Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) Plug-In, users can authenticate into SharePoint using an Echidna supported security token, such as Salt mCodeXpress Fingerprint Edition on mobile devices that support biometrics hardware for a biometric login.
