The iPrism Web Filter offers IT professionals managing Mac Tiger or Leopard OS networks exclusive functionality that makes authentication fast and easy. With Mac auto-login, you can enforce policies across your network using a directory utility function that binds clients to the same directory service as iPrism. This makes authentication a one-step process that requires no additional software on any network system. Being able to automate authentication in Mac or mixed environments is an important benefit for over-burdened IT administrators, saving them many hours of Internet security management that could be spent on other critical tasks.
For Mac users, iPrism authentication is easily achieved by binding your clients to the same AD server as the iPrism Web Filter, using Directory Utility and enable Active Directory (version 1.6.4). If you use AD2003/2008 but you do not bind, you can take advantage of a locally cached credential with a one-time prompt from iPrism when using OSX (Tiger and Leopard) clients.
The addition of the Mac functionality means that mixed platform networks can now have easy authentication no matter what OS systems are deployed. This is particularly good news for k-12 schools and even some higher educational institutions because they often end up with a mixed assortment of Mac and Windows computers. iPrism's authentication flexibility allow IT administrators to blend legacy systems with new equipment without sacrificing efficiency or performance. With the iPrism Web Filter, schools can blend their Apple and Microsoft users with Windows systems and get the same industry-leading Web security that single platform networks enjoy. Whether iPrism is deployed in its exclusive Transparent Bridge Mode or in Proxy Mode, the iPrism Web Filter allows you to create a cohesive computing atmosphere where all of your Web security features are enabled.
