Abstract:
A distributed policy management (PM) system (e.g., system for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) activities on a network) is provided. Nodes of the PM system may share information of the PM system using a distributed data store (e.g., a multi-master cache). Each node of the distributed PM system may further share information from the distributed data store with other nodes of a corporate infrastructure network by augmenting information in a remote authentication dial-in user service (RADIUS) protocol message. Nodes that are involved in policy management (e.g., network authentication server (NAS) or firewall) without access to the distributed data store may receive information via augmented RADIUS messages. In this manner, devices may be interfaced to the distributed PM system without having access to the distributed data store. High availability and load balancing implementations may be provided by leveraging the distributed data store across nodes of the PM system.
