Proper Authentication is required?

Applications

Proper authentication is a key security requirement when accessing resources via a network, username/password is no more sufficient!

Various secure authentication methods are implemented by ApplicGate such as:

Use Cases/TechInfo

You can use any certificate (software certificate or smartcard) for authentication.

TECHINFO

Certificates can come from any Certification Authority (CA), either from your own CA or any public CA.
The easiest way to generate certificates is to use scripts, e.g. PowerShell scripts provided by ApplicGate.
ApplicGate requests client certificates during TLS sessions setup.
The email address provided in the client certificate will be used to authorize certain functions

SCHEMA

You have to enter a One-Time Password that has been set to you via SMS or email.

TECHINFO

Prerequisite is a user list where for each user the email addresses, the mobile phone number (optional), and the personal security ID are stored.
Each entry may have an expiration date. When the entry expires the responsible person will be notified via email. The user list can be managed via the built-in web interface.
For authentication the user opens a web page (templates are provided), enters his/her email address and the security ID.
ApplicGate will return a one-time password via email or SMS (as requested).
This password must be entered into the web form to finish the authentication process.

SCHEMA

You have to enter the code generated by Google or Microsoft Authenticator. (Initial authentication is done via SMS or email.)

TECHINFO

The user must install the Google or the Microsoft Authenticator on his/her mobile device.
Prerequisite is the user list as defined for OTP because the initialization process (generation and distribution of the shared secret) must be authenticated by email or SMS.
When using the authenticator the first time: After authentication by email or SMS a QR code to configure the authenticator with the shared secret will be shown.
Now for authentication the user must enter the email address, the security ID and the 6-digit code generated by the authenticator.

SCHEMA

Use this feature for additional authentication for protocols other than https, e.g. RDP. Authentication by certificates, OTP and TOTP is supported.

TECHINFO

Logon can be done with any web browser.
As long as the authenticated session is established any session from the same source address and to ApplicGate routing entries with the email address configured are allowed.
