GAMA Ecosystem
Dynamic Authorization
GAMA works with your other Wi-Fi networking infrastructure equipment such as RADIUS
to enable you to change access to network resources for users based on dynamically
changing conditions or events. Such conditions include the user’s location or change in
location, the user’s SSID (wireless network name), after roaming to a new access point,
or based on meeting certain conditions from RADIUS accounting, such as session life or
amount of traffic passed. A user’s access to resources can be updated during the middle
of a networking session if desired.
Access Control Rules (ACRs)
GAMA introduces sophisticated Access Control Rules (ACRs) to enact dynamic
authorization. With ACRs the IT manager has extensive flexibility over how they control
and change access for a user. Using a standards-based approach (RFC 3576), GAMA
augments the existing RADIUS server to change the client’s access to various network
resources based on location, time of day, identity of user, SSID, VLAN, and accounting
data. GAMA can change authorization attributes during active networking sessions, and
invoke ACRs on demand, via the API from another application, or by time or date via the
built-in scheduler.
