What you need to know about IEEE 802.1X Wi-Fi Authentication?

The history of 802.1X is a continuous accumulation of attempts and errors, much like the history of internet protocols. Certain things worked while others didn't. The standard was modified and improved along the way to satisfy the following requirements:

Authentication. The main goal of 802.1X  Wi-Fi Authentication is to specify a common foundation for securely connecting to dedicated wired networks. Securing that connection requires knowing and verifying the identity of each client.

Authorization. Because networks can be complex, not every authenticated client should have access to the same resources. An essential part of network access is an authorization or giving the appropriate client the appropriate level of access.

Accounting. Accounting logging access, which records and analyses who has accessed a network and what they have accessed while inside, is a crucial part of network security.

Port level control. The authorization permits customers to have the appropriate amount of access, however depending on how or where they are connecting, it is frequently necessary to grant various clients varying levels of access and limitation.

Encryption. Security fundamentals include support for the encryption of network communications to guarantee that only the intended receiver and the authenticated client can access that data.

Foxpass enables per-user logins instead of using a shared password, enhancing security and preventing unwanted access to your very important company data.

An employee can log into their company’s Wi-Fi® with ease while also solving the age-old problem of getting rid of generic, overused, shared passwords that allow any random bystander to hack into to your infrastructure, making businesses vulnerable to major attacks--cyber attacks in which they are often unable to recuperate.

Another added bonus of using RADIUS WiFi authentication With Foxpass is that an IT manager can seamlessly delegate with an internet connection and access to the Foxpass Dashboard.

What is LDAP Server and How Does it Works?

  LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is a widely used protocol for accessing directory services, such as authentication and authorization information, in a network environment. LDAP servers provide a centralized location for storing and retrieving directory information, and LDAP clients can access this information using the LDAP protocol. In this blog, we will explore how an LDAP server responds to an LDAP client request. LDAP servers and clients communicate using a request-response model. The client sends a request to the server, and the server sends a response back to the client. An LDAP client can initiate different types of requests to the server, such as search, add, modify, and delete. The server must respond appropriately to each type of request. The First Step  : The process of responding to an LDAP client request is to establish a connection between the client and the server. The client sends a request to the server to open a communication channel, and ...

Are You Aware Of These Far-fetched Things About AWS LDAP?

The Amazon web services are making the cloud-based infrastructure a reality by offering heaps of privileges. By providing IT professionals the perfect opportunities for building and running applications, this is considered as one of the most hassle-free procedures for managing services on-premise with storage, networking, and much more. With the help of this, you will be able to eliminate your data center and all the hassle which comes with managing the IT infrastructure.  Here we have gathered up some of the most essential points about AWS LDAP: Ø   These AWS services are helping the IT teams to connect with an existing on-premises AD to the cloud or for creating a new directory. The service helps in simplifying the deployment of Linux and Window based cloud workloads just by handling the management tasks such as monitoring the domain controllers and by deploying redundant infrastructure across various multiple availability zones.  Ø   When you ...

Radius Server - Enhanced Security & Control on the User Access

Radius increases security and deployment giving support for centralized user identification, authentication, dynamic key management and accounting. It gives a mechanism for controlling user access to a computer network. Radius server keeps a check on the user passwords and grants and denies access. It also helps in keeping a check on the network usage allowing the management to find out how and when the network is being used. Radius server uses port 1812. Here the port numbers are a part of the TCP/IP mechanism that connects clients and servers on the internet. Why should you use Radius? Radius protocol uses authentication, authorization, and accounting. These are some useful services that a radius server can perform. Authentication:  This is the process whereby the system determines the identity of the user. It is usually done with the user name and password. Generally, this method of authentication is followed at restaurants. Apart from this, other forms of auth...
