When you create a user, the FirePass generates a private key that is used as a license key to activate the client software for remote control. The key can be mailed to users directly from the management interface and contains a URL to download the client software from the FirePass server. Once the client is installed on the desktop, it registers the license key with the server and matches it with a user. When a user authenticates to the FirePass server it knows which desktop to pass the user through for remote control and file transfer.
Together, the uRoam agents consumed 6,168 KB of RAM while dormant and 6,368 KB while active. During remote control, uRoam used less RAM than any other participant, though it did not provide as much functionality as fatter clients.
uRoam's FirePass 1000 supports 100 concurrent users and is competitively priced at $11,110. For enterprises that require more than 100 simultaneous connections, the servers can be clustered together for scalability and fault tolerance.
