IDENTIKEY Appliance is designed as a convenience layer around VASCO’s IDENTIKEY Server, giving organizations the option of running their authentication server separate from all other systems and applications. Some organizations prefer this setup for security reasons or for the sake of minimizing implementation resources. Other companies choose this option to avoid sharing resources among crucial applications, opting instead for several dedicated appliances. IDENTIKEY Appliance authentication appliance is a plug-and-play solution that can be installed very quickly and easily, all without impacting the performance of existing systems and applications.

IDENTIKEY Appliance is scalable up to 100,000 users and, as such, is suited for medium to large enterprises. It comes preloaded with IDENTIKEY Server 3.1, VASCO’s back-end authentication software that powers DIGIPASS two-factor authentication and supports the entire family of DIGIPASS client authentication devices and functionalities, including one-time passwords, e-Signatures, DIGIPASS for Mobile and software-only authentication.

IDENTIKEY Appliance offers standard RADIUS support as well as optional integration through a SOAP API.

Detailed information on users, DIGIPASS and policies is stored either in an embedded database inside the appliance or through ODBC in an available database on the network.
