An IP with N-Factor

An IP with N-Factor -

NetScaler 11.0 was published late in June 2015, but the work is not yet complete, so our Super Smart developers keep the encoding engine is running at full capacity to my (and hopefully your) pleasure!

October 8 th NetScaler 11.0 build 63.16 F * came, and with him an important addition to our authentication framework (AAA TM) called n-factor.

n factor is really cool and beyond great. It gives us additional flexibility, as we want to do the authentication. In short, it is conditioned authentication policies, have so obtained, depending on user input, we can change the way to authenticate. This could be based on its group membership or its SRC ip. But what if something goes wrong during the process? This is where n-factor comes to the rescue. You can change the authentication process based on what happened earlier!

An imagined scenario that the wrong kinds password often could be a user and gets lockout, and on a give accessing "anonymous" portal, in which he is able by a password Reset or gain access to internal support. This could, to the NetScaler also observe certain requirements of the hung (day, location or any other)

masters who spoke here on n-factor:

one-IP is desirable for those who has an upper limit on the number of public ips, or wants to simplify certificates in a single certificate instead of wildcard certs, since you only need a public IP added to NetScaler content to serve outwards.

with this version it is possible to add an AAA TM server with the IP 0.0.0.0 Port 0 and still forms-based authentication, this must be used to produce a 401 base authentication are limited.

I know this is a highly anticipated feature, I can not count how many times I have the question: "why can not we create only the AAA TM Server as an internal resource such a LB. " we can now have listened and :-)

They are not afraid to give feedback to the input is always appreciated.

* F stands for function, later release on we M, which stands for the maintenance. F versions will include new features and bug fixes, release-M only bug fixes.
