Making the Grade with Role-based Network Access: Leveraging User Directories and 802.1X

Date: January 29, 2008 Time: 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern Sponsored by: Identity Engines

With seven campuses serving over 40,000 students, Metropolitan Community College needed a secure but flexible solution for granting access to its campus network, one that wouldn’t compromise network integrity or place increased demands on existing staff and budgets. The solution? 802.1X and role-based access control. Leveraging existing directory and identity infrastructure, Metropolitan CC secured all network access by transparently authenticating students, faculty, and administration against its Novell eDirectory structures.

Join us as Kevin Jones, network engineer at Metropolitan Community College, and Sean Convery, CTO at Identity Engines chronicle the straightforward deployment steps that delivered:

• District-wide differentiated network access for faculty, students, and administration
• Elimination of unwanted network traffic
• Automated, audited Guest provisioning without directory maintenance
• Overwhelmingly positive student feedback
