Security Overview

Identity-Driven Manager (IDM)

IDM is a plug-in to ProCurve Manager Plus (PCM+) and uses RADIUS-based

technologies to create a user-centric approach to network access manage-

ment and network activity tracking and monitoring. IDM enables control of

access security policy from a central management server, with policy enforce-

ment to the network edge, and protection against both external and internal

threats.

Using IDM, a system administrator can configure automatic and dynamic

security to operate at the network edge when a user connects to the network.

This operation enables the network to:

■ approve or deny access at the edge of the network instead of in the core;

■ distinguish among different users and what each is authorized to do;

■ configure guest access without compromising internal security.

Criteria for enforcing RADIUS-based security for IDM applications includes

classifiers such as:

■ authorized user identity

■ authorized device identity (MAC address)

■ software running on the device

■ physical location in the network

■ time of day

Responses can be configured to support the networking requirements, user

(SNMP) community, service needs, and access security level for a given client

and device.

Manager (under Network Management).
