Xetee™ Authentication (XA) transparently provides the security, flexibility, and if needed, the customization your organization needs to prevent unauthorized access to your organization's applications.

XA provides security by:

• Using SSL channel for user sign-on
• Using one way password encryption to prevent password theft
• Requiring passwords to comply with minimum structure guidelines to prevent brute force entry
• Expiring passwords after a pre-configured number of days
• Prevention of password change, a pre-configured number of days, after a password change
• Disallowing password reuse
• Disallowing further sign-on attempts after a pre-configured number of failed attempts
• Requiring re-authentication after a pre-configured number of minutes of inactivity
• Encrypting all communications between sign-on and authentication modules
• Supporting user verification through HR system

XA provides flexibility by providing configurable:

• Directory service providers
• One way encryption algorithms
• Soft expiration timeout
• Hard expiration timeout
• Password retry limits before account lockout
• Password structure requirements
  
• Password history settings to prevent reuse

• Making the sign-on and authentication independent modules that can be replaced with another
• Strategically designing interfaces that allow customized components to be plugged in with no code changes required to the core structure
