Designing Access Controls

Choose RADIUS Servers

As you will recall from Chapter 1: “Access Control Concepts,” the

authentication architecture consists of four primary components:

■ Endpoint

■ Policy enforcement point (PEP)

■ Policy decision point (PDP)

■ Policy and credential repository

Figure 3-8. Network Authentication Architecture

In this step, you will select and decide how to deploy your PDPs and policy

repositories.
