Figure 5-1. Problem: Need for Survivable Authentication and Authorization
Solution: HP Advanced Services zl
Module with Microsoft Windows Server
2008 R2 + HP PCM/IDM Agents
The company will deploy the HP Advanced Services zl Module with Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 at the branch. This module will support NPS services
as well as a few other basic services.
In addition, the company will install an Identity Driven Manager (IDM) agent
on the server. This agent enforces centrally configured policies locally. In the
event of a WAN failure, users can authenticate to the local NPS server, and the
local IDM agent will continue to enforce user-based access policies based on
the last update it received from the central IDM server.
