SafeLinx Administrator
The SafeLinx Administrator is a Java application that lets administrators configure, monitor, and maintain the resources of one or more SafeLinx Servers.
- Controlling resources and organizational units
  SafeLinx gives you control over all resources and organizational units.
- Customizing network configuration
  SafeLinx lets you customize your network configuration.
- Configuring for security
  SafeLinx includes options for configuring security.
  - Configuring TLS certificates
    You can configure different components of the SafeLinx Server to use Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure their communications.
  - Using Certificate-based authentication profiles
    You can control how clients are authenticated using third-party configuration properties in certificate-based authentication profiles.
  - Using LDAP-bind authentication profiles
    You can control how clients are authenticated using third-party configuration properties in LDAP-bind authentication profiles.
  - Using RADIUS authentication profiles
    You can control how clients are authenticated using third-party configuration properties in RADIUS authentication profiles.
  - Using device identification with SafeLinx Clients
    Some devices have serial numbers that are associated with their hardware, which can be used for identification. Users who connect through the SafeLinx Client that is configured for Password key exchange can have an extra level of security by taking advantage of these device identifiers.
  - Configuring users to be authenticated using only RADIUS
    You can configure the SafeLinx Client to be authenticated using RADIUS.
  - Configuring users to be authenticated using only LDAP-bind
    You can configure the SafeLinx Client to be authenticated using LDAP-bind.
  - Configuring users to be authenticated using certificate-based authentication
    You can configure a SafeLinx Server to connect by using certificate-based authentication.
  - Limiting the client logon to a specific class of devices
    You can limit the SafeLinx Clients that are permitted to log on to the SafeLinx Server by device class. This capability is a security feature of the connection profile that is assigned to the mobile network connection (MNC) to which the client logs in. How devices are identified depends on the operating system of the SafeLinx Client.
  - Configuring a restricted session for Windows integrated logon
    When you configure the SafeLinx Client to use the Windows integrated logon, you can choose to offer these clients access to a restricted session.

Configuring users to be authenticated using only RADIUS

You can configure the SafeLinx Client to be authenticated using RADIUS.

About this task

You can configure the SafeLinx Client for Linux, Windows, Windows CE, and Nokia 9300/9500 Communicator to be authenticated by using only SecurID (RADIUS). SafeLinx Client users on Sony Ericsson P910 are automatically configured to use two-party key distribution protocol and, when a RADIUS authentication server is also configured, RADIUS authentication server is also configured, RADIUS authentication.

Procedure

Create a RADIUS authentication profile. See Using RADIUS authentication profiles for more details.
Create a connection profile that is configured with the Diffie-Hellman key exchange algorithm, and set the Client Validation Model to None.
Make sure that the connection profile has the RADIUS authentication profile selected that you created in step 1.
Assign the connection profile to an MNC.
On the SafeLinx Client, create a connection to the SafeLinx Server.
Edit the properties of the SafeLinx Client connection you created. Click the Security tab, click Public Key, then click OK.
On the SafeLinx Client, start the connection to the SafeLinx Server. Make sure to enter the RADIUS user name and password into the Connect window to log on.
