In addition to accessing a built-in user database, users can authenticate against an NT domain, LDAP, NIS (Network Information Services), ACE (Advanced Computing Environment), and RADIUS servers. You can group users and create multiple security and access policies. I found it limiting, however, that a user can belong to only one group and that subgroups cannot be created.
Webified Apps
I created a user name in the database and set up policy and access permissions. Connecting to the IVE, I was presented with a list of Web- and file-server bookmarks, a browse-Web option and a list of client applications (see screen, at right). The browser applications are provided for browsing intranet sites as well as for using a Web-based e-mail system. Web pages are passed between the client and IVE via SSL and then in the clear from the IVE to the back-end Web server. The IVE supports HTTPS browsing as well. One small complaint: A navigational widget on the top of every Web page lets you return to the IVE home or log out. I would have preferred to see the pages embedded inside a frame, making it easy to tell if you're still connected.
The file-sharing feature is a real bonus. You can browse the Windows file-sharing network and connect to NFS (Network File System) servers. You also can explore graphically or type in an absolute path to authenticate, download or upload files. You cannot rename or move files, but you can delete them. Other users on the LAN will not be able to see or access your machine.
