Step 1: Install SecureAuth® Web Module
Existing in a self-contained environment, the SecureAuth web module securely authenticates users without additional programming efforts/costs. SecureAuth enacts:
• Inspection of valid X.509 user credential
• Creation of new X.509 credentials
• Elimination of expired credentials
Simple SecureAuth Installation
The SecureAuth web module is installed with an easy “click-thru” MSI install component. The MSI can be installed on the same IIS server as the existing application (figure 1), or on a separate server (figure 2). In either installation, the SecureAuth module is installed in its own Microsoft virtual directory, and is configured with its own Web.Config.
The SecureAuth authentication module is a well-behaved .NET application that is fully configurable for not only the SecureAuth parameters, but standard .NET parameters, including:
• Data Connection
• Post-authentication Destination
• Session encryption and strength
Estimated Deployment Time:
1-2 hours by Web Admin
• Simple “click-thru” MSI install
• No special crypto experience is needed
• No modification of “target application”
