Key Feature

Benefit

MS SQL Server support for Accounting

PPS supports storing the RADIUS accounting information to an external SQL database.

PPS offers SQL Accounting feature under Auth Servers.

Note: MSSQL accounting supported only for 802.1x use cases and only one SQL server can be configured.

PCS Admission Control using PPS

The Firewall/SIEM detects compromised remote devices. The Firewall/SIEM can send threat alert to PPS and PPS can instruct PCS to take action based on threat severity.

Cascading Authentication Server support

Cascading multiple external authentication servers provides a continuous, reliable process for authenticating and authorizing external users. If authentication fails on the first authentication server, then PPS attempts to authenticate the user by using the subsequent external authentication server configured in the realm under the sign-in policy page.

MAC Spoofing

Profiler can now detect a device, which was already scanned and profiled but cannot be scanned anymore. Admin can configure an e-mail notification to be sent based on the configured interval for devices, which are assigned a group based on the number of failed scan attempts.
