Main benefits
Using a remote login page with NOC (network operations center) authentication provides
you with the following benefits:
The login page is completely customizable. You are not bound by the limits imposed by
loading a login page onto the controller.
Users can login to the public access interface without exposing their Web browsers to the
SSL certificate on the controller. This eliminates warning messages caused by having an
SSL certificate on the controller that is not signed by a well-known certificate authority.
If you want to support secure login with SSL, but have multiple controllers, using a
remote login page means you only need to purchase a single SSL certificate signed by a
well-known certificate authority, instead of one for each access point.
How it works
The NOC authentication feature provides a secure way of authenticating public access users,
with strong mutual authentication between the login application on the Web server hosting
the remote login page and the controller used for authenticating user logins. This occurs via
the two Colubris-AVPair value strings (ssl-noc-certificate and ssl-noc-ca-certificate),
which define the locations of two certificates. These certificates enable the controller to
validate that the user login information does indeed come from a trusted application. For
example, from a login application on the Web server.
