Aladdin eToken Now Supports Citrix MetaFrame Products

Aladdin Knowledge Systems Inc, a Charter Alliance Partner in the Citrix accessPARTNER Program, announced that its eToken authentication device now supports Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server and MetaFrame Secure Access Manager from Citrix Systems Inc.

Organizations using these Citrix products to centrally manage and deploy applications and information can now implement eToken for powerful, two-factor authentication of both local and remote users with a simple USB smartcard.

"As a Platinum reseller of Citrix solutions, we value the added layer of powerful authentication offered by the Aladdin eToken," said Jeff Johnstone, business development manager of NCC Networks, an Elgin, Ill.-based reseller of both Aladdin and Citrix products. "The combination of Citrix and eToken expands business security for remote employee network access. We're proud to offer our customers this joint solution."

eToken's support of the Citrix Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) and Citrix Web-based Access Clients provides simple, yet powerful, security of corporate information assets:

  • eToken with Citrix ICA
    • Known as the "thin" protocol, ICA enables Citrix MetaFrame Presentation Server to separate application logic from the user interface. The application executes 100 percent on the server and only screen updates, mouse movements and keystrokes are transmitted via the Citrix ICA session. eToken is compatible with the Citrix ICA Client, providing strong two-factor authentication for remote users accessing sensitive data.
  • eToken with Citrix Web-based Access
    • Citrix MetaFrame Secure Access Manager provides secure, single-point access over the Web to any enterprise resource, including client/server, legacy, Web applications, Internet and intranet sites, streaming media, documents, network file services and XML-based Web services. With a set of easy-to-use tools, IT administrators enable browser-based access configured for each user's business needs, with secure connectivity over the Web. eToken seamlessly integrates with Citrix's browser-based client, providing unmatched authentication for remote users of MetaFrame Secure Access Manager.

"eToken's new Citrix support illustrates our ongoing commitment to simple integration with leading platforms," said Leedor Agam, vice president of eBusiness and eToken solutions at Aladdin Knowledge Systems. "Citrix's focus on secure, easy and instant access to information on demand is a perfect fit with eToken. We also want to congratulate them on their recent inclusion on Forbes Hot Shots: 200 Best Small Companies list."
