Securing Remote Users at Microsoft | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Discussion of Microsoft IT's Secure Remote User initiative to improve the security of remote access connections. As part of the company's ongoing Trustworthy Computing strategy, Microsoft's internal IT group safeguards employee remote access connections (around one million per month) to make computing more secure at Microsoft. Although first conceived and articulated by Microsoft, the evolving goals of the Trustworthy Computing initiative will require unprecedented industry collaboration as well as a firm commitment from customers to establishing and maintaining secure environments. | ||

Sounds like yet another brilliant move to lock out non-Windows platforms.
"Don't have a PC? You can't connect to our Network" So much for the portability of TCP/IP. TL |

BTW...
I do not need, have never needed, nor will I ever need in the future, CHEAP TICKETS!!! Enough already. I've clicked the damned thing away 100 times. The system should get the friggin' point by now. As always, thank you for your support :) TL |

The documentation says:
---------------------------------------------------------- • Mobile device issues. Users of mobile Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) devices, such as Pocket PCs and Smartphones, which do not yet support the required EAP-TLS protocol, cannot gain remote access to the corporate network with these devices at the time of this writing. In addition, mobile devices would also need to support a Smart Card reader device, since accessing a Smart Card is required for remote access. • Home computer issues. Home users equipped with some Macintosh, UNIX, and Linux computers are also not able to gain remote access to the Microsoft corporate network when those systems do not support the required version of the EAP-TLS protocol. ---------------------------------------------------------- This doesn't equate to "Don't have a PC? You can't connect to our Network" . It's a matter of Smart Card and protocol support. EAP-TLS is an open authentication protocol and has implementations available on Mac and n*x systems. |
