• Identity theft — Since passwords are more prone to theft, certificates ensure that identity

information is valid and secure.

• Unauthorized access — When certificates become compromised, they also become unusable.

• Password maintenance — Avoid requiring users to maintain long lists of complex passwords that

are difficult to remember and easy to lose.

Integrated Windows authentication

Enterprise Authentication supports Integrated Windows authentication (IWA), which uses the Windows

client user information for authentication.

When users log on to the corporate network from their Windows client, Enterprise Authentication uses

IWA to grant access to protected resources with the Windows user authentication credentials.

IWA is helpful to:

• Bypass initial logon prompts

• Avoid transferring user credentials over the network

Context-aware authentication

Enterprise Authentication combines context-aware information with other authentication factors to

authenticate user identities.

To enable context-aware authentication, Enterprise Authentication uses this information:

• Geographical location

• Browser type

• Operating system type

Example: To access online bank accounts, users enter a user name and password. When users access

their account outside their home location, the bank websites recognizes the new location using

context-based information. To securely validate the user identity, the bank website prompts users to

identify themselves using a user name, password, and several additional authentication methods.
