This product provides two ways to employ a proximity card as a means of authenticating to the network. The NMASTM login method for pcProx* enables you to set up a pcProx card to act like a traditional password to authenticate the user to the network. This is similar to other login methods provided for use with NMAS.
NOTE: For security reasons, pcProx should not be the only factor used for authentication. It should be used with a second factor, such as a biometric device, a smart card, or a password.
The NMAS login ID snap-in enables organizations to utilize their proximity cards to quickly and easily identify users. For example, instead of requiring users to enter their user IDs when they authenticate, you can require users to present their proximity cards for identification. You can then require another form of authentication (password, biometric, etc.) to authenticate the user. You can also configure this snap-in to replace or complement the password.
