End User Authentication Workflow in IPSec VPN

A generic user authentication workflow after integrating Adapter with the Cisco IPSec VPN appliance is as follows:

  1. User invokes VPN Client to connect to your enterprise network.
  2. In the VPN Client user interface, user specifies their ArcotID PKI credentials and clicks the Login button to connect.
  3. AFM performs ArcotID PKI authentication and returns an OTT to VPN Client.
  4. VPN Client invokes the Cisco VPN client application, which, in turn, connects to the Cisco VPN server with the user’s information and the OTT.
  5. Cisco VPN server validates the OTT with AuthMinder, which is set up as the RADIUS server.
  6. On successful authentication, user is logged in to your enterprise network.
