The Protiva SAS supports the entire family of Protiva end-user devices. This capability enables issuers to provide end-users with the form factor most appropriate for their individual network access requirements while maintaining full compatibility on the backend. The Protiva Strong Authentication Server consists of the following components:
Leverage Your Network Infrastructure Investment
Protiva SAS supports multiple operating systems and server configurations so existing infrastructure can be used for enhanced network security and user identity protection. Protiva’s Authentication Modules fully support industry-standard protocols for seamless integration with existing architectures that incorporate RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In Server), AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) and Web application servers.
Provision, Manage and Empower End-Users
The Protiva SAS Customer Care Portal offers three options to provision and manage end-user smart card devices and authentication credentials: a Batch Client provisioning tool, a Customer Care portal, and Live Provisioning. The Batch Client provisioning tool enables administrators to create multiple device records at one time and activate multiple users. It is especially useful when setting up a new system since a large number of device records can be enabled in one step.
The Web-based Protiva SAS Customer Care Portal provides the functionality to create or update a unique Protiva device record, link the record to the user and activate the device. It also supports Live Provisioning, a fast and convenient way to personalize a new Protiva device or re-use an existing device for end users. Using a Protiva SA Easy Token device and a Gemalto contact-less smart card reader, administrators can place the card within the scan area of the reader and automatically create a device record, save it on the data server, and securely transfer the information to the smart card device.
Protiva SAS also enables end-users to manage routine tasks through a robust self-service portal. The End-User Portal is incorporated into the Protiva Web application and can be customized to support end-user access to specific Protiva SAS functions.
