AAA and 802.1X

Juniper Networks Odyssey Access Client

  • Secure, easily deployed 802.1X access client for enterprises and government agencies
  • Tunneled EAP methods and the advanced encryption protocol WPA2 fully protect credential and data security on the wireless link
  • Low total cost of ownership ensures dramatic savings in support, helpdesk, and training costs
 

Overview

Juniper Network's Odyssey Access Client is enterprise-class 802.1X access client software with full support for advanced WLAN security protocols that you require for wireless access to your LAN. Together with an 802.1X-compatible RADIUS server such as Juniper Networks' Odyssey Access Server or Steel-Belted Radius®, OAC secures the authentication and connection of WLAN users, ensuring that only authorized users can connect, that login credentials will not be compromised, and that data privacy will be maintained over the wireless link. OAC is also an ideal client for enterprises that are deploying identity-based (wired 802.1X) networking. OAC fully supports wired 802.1X connections, and saves time and effort by permitting one-time deployment of wireless and wired 802.1X access. The use of a single interface for both functions also simplifies user experience and reduces costs associated with user training.
