• Integration of a central directory service (e.g. Microsoft Active Directory)

• Combinable with a configurable single sign-on mechanism.

• Server component installed in the DMZ

• Passive reverse proxy, i.e. the required port between internal network and DMZ need only be opened ‘from the inside out’

• Extension of the DMZ server
• Addition of various productive nodes possible
• Nodes are assigned to sessions in a round-robin pattern to distribute the load by user requests
• Nodes are licensed separately, making the whole system easily scalable
• All nodes receive the same functional scope as the master system
