OPSEC Integration
Using the Fedora Directory Server VPN-1 and Connectra administrators can easily build security policies that grant authentication and authorization to network resources using information in their existing directory. Security information such as user name, password, group, and other data can now be automatically accessed by VPN-1 and Connectra modules to enforce enterprise security policies. With this certification security administrators no longer have to maintain separate user databases for each security application, thus reducing management overhead and significantly improving overall network security.
