Authentication Schemes 93

VASCO Digipass Token Configuration

The Barracuda SSL VPN can be configured to authenticate to a VASCO server using the RADIUS
feature of the product. Note that VASCO do not currently include a RADIUS server with their
product; therefore you will need to use an external RADIUS server (i.e. FreeRADIUS) to provide the
RADIUS component of this solution

Secure Computing SafeWord

The Barracuda SSL VPN appliance can be configured to authenticate to a SafeWord server using the
RADIUS feature of the product. Note that SafeWord requires an Active Directory database and
Internet Authentication Server (IAS) installed on the Domain Controller.
