    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for network policy enforcement for externally-hosted application usage. A method for a policy management server in an enterprise network includes: grant permission to a user of the enterprise network to access an application hosted outside the enterprise network; determine a usage of the application by the user subsequent to granting the permission; and revoke the permission responsive to the usage of the application by the user exceeding a predetermined usage limit of the application for the user.

    摘要: In some examples, a system of an enterprise network sends, in response to a request for authentication transmitted in response to a request by an electronic device to access the enterprise network, an authentication request from the system to a server that is part of a carrier network. The system receives, in response to the authentication request, an authentication response that contains a value representing a mobile number for the electronic device, and checks whether the mobile number represented by the value in the authentication response is present in a user information repository. The system performs authorization of the electronic device based on the check of whether the mobile number represented by the value in the authentication response is present in the user information repository, the authorization for the electronic device to determine an access permission of the electronic device in the enterprise network.
