Planning for frontend authentication

Updated: April 8, 2010

Applies To: Unified Access Gateway

Forefront Unified Access Gateway (UAG) supports the use of a number of different authentication protocols to authenticate end users to the Forefront UAG portal. By using these authentications protocols, you can provide strong authentication, for example two-factor or smart card authentication.

The following topics describe the supported authentication protocols:

• LDAP authentication

• SSL client certificate authentication

• RADIUS authentication

• RSA SecurID authentication

• TACACS authentication

• WINHTTP authentication

Note

If you do not want to use one of the authentication schemes provided by Forefront UAG, you can configure a custom authentication scheme.
