The BIG-IP Advanced Client Authentication Module reduces costs and frees up server cycles by eliminating the need to manage and enforce authentication individually across applications. The module provides top-level client authentication of HTTP and other traffic types to LDAP, Radius, and TACAS directories. Reduces management costs and decreases server and application load. Checks user certificates using the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) before granting network access. Stops unwanted traffic before it reaches your servers and applications. Supports the Pluggable Access Module (PAM) for passing client information to external devices for authentication. The module allows organizations to integrate BIG-IP into any type of authentication device that will accept PAM services.
