F5 DoD Virtual User Group: How to Series | Ephemeral Authentication & Privileged User Access

Join F5 and Carahsoft for the next session in our popular DoD Virtual User Group: How to Series. The Ephemeral Authentication lab is a combination of multiple features included in Access Policy Manager to enhance security for Authentication schemes. The first module will cover the implementation of Client Certificate Constrained Delegation (C3D) features enhanced in APM. This use case is often referred to as CertSSO. The second module will cover the Privileged User Access solution, with a specific focus on ephemeral authentication for SSH access to network devices, as well integration with code repositories.

This lab will cover the following topics related to Ephemeral Authentication:

The F5 Privileged User Access (PUA) solution provides an easy way to add CAC/PKI authentication or other strong authentication methods to network infrastructure and systems that do not natively support this functionality. It does this without requiring the addition of client software or agents anywhere in the environment and allows you to fully leverage your legacy or non-compliant systems in a safe and secure manner. It integrates directly into DoD PKI or MFA systems and may be configured to work cooperatively with existing TACACS, Active Directory, AAA servers, or a variety of third-party authentication databases.
 
F5 PUA is DoD CIO approved as an Identify Federation Service (IFS) for facilitating both privileged and unprivileged user authentication to unclassified and secret fabric DoD Information Systems.
 
IFS are third-party intermediary services facilitating user-authentication to resources or relying parties. IFS may be used when a system or application does not support direct authentication with PKI or MFA credentials, or the system owner desires a single management framework for a group of heterogeneous systems.
