OPSEC Integration

RSA Authentication Manager integrates into the OPSEC family by easily integrating with authentication mechanisms built in to the Check Point product family.

  1. Check Point FireWall-1 : Supports direct communication with an RSA Authentication Manager for authenticating users via user, session or client authentication. SecurID-based authentication also interoperates with RADIUS or TACACS+ communication with an Authentication Manager. The following methods all support SecurID 2-Factor authentication:
    1. User Authentication User authentication allows an administrator to grant access privileges on a per user basis, without regard to the user's IP source.
    2. Client Authentication Client Authentication allows an administrator to grant access to a specific user at a specific source.
    3. Session Authentication Session authentication is used to authenticate any service on a per-session basis (additional client required).
  2. Check Point SecureClient and SecuRemote : SecurID login works directly from within the Check Point client, without the need for extra software on client computers.
  3. Check Point VPN-1: Supports native communication with an Authentication Manager for robust and secure authentication of SecurID users, using IKE, FWZ or Hybrid-mode IKE.
