MXtreme provides two distinct but equally secure mechanisms for accessing internal mailboxes using a remote browser. Both mechanisms are secured as follows: AuthenticationWhen the user connects to MXtreme, they are prompted for a userid/password combination. This authentication layer establishes only a session on MXtreme. The user's profile determines which (if any) internal mail server may be accessed. A default server may be defined. MXtreme will authenticate the user with the default internal server using the cached userid/password combination - providing a convenient single sign on mechanism. For more security, the authentication details can be different on the internal server than on MXtreme. In this case, two authentication steps must be completed. Radius authenticationMXteme can be configured to accept any userid/password combination and try it against a specified internal Radius server. The significance of this feature is that a user account does not have to be created on MXtreme before a user can use the Secure Web Mail interface. This radically simplifies the implementation of Secure Web Mail services without compromising MXtreme's security protection for the whole process. Strong authenticationWhere security is paramount, MXtreme can require strong authentication. Currently supported authentication cards include RSA SecurID and CryptoCard. Additional cards are being implemented. EncryptionAll communications with MXtreme can be encrypted using TLS/SSL. This includes the web mail browser session and the communications between MXtreme and the internal servers. Complete confidentiality is thus assured. BorderPostBorderPost is used to access any standards based IMAP server, for example MS Exchange. All major mail servers support IMAP and this allows for the messages to be viewed, replied to, deleted etc. using a remote client. However, IMAP does not remove the messages from the server (as does POP access). Users who have read their email using BorderPost using a remote connection will find that their email is readily accessible when they return to their offices and use their workstation mail client. BorderPost is a full-function mail client that includes folder handling, contact lists etc. Secure Web Mail for OWAThis interface provides a highly secure mechanism for using OWA (Outlook Web Access). OWA provides almost the same interface as Outlook 2000, and is therefore very attractive to users who run Outlook 2000 on their workstations. With OWA, they can see all their mail, their contacts, calendar etc. as it is stored on the Exchange server. However, OWA presents many challenges:
Secure Web Mail for OWA resolves these issues.
