St. Bernard Announces Auto-Login for Macs to iPrism Web Filter
Provides Greater Controls and Seamless Integration of Policy Across OS X Platforms Without Any Additional Software or Client Required
| Source: St. Bernard
SAN DIEGO, CA--(Marketwire - April 20, 2009) - St.
Bernard Software, Inc. (OTCBB : SBSW ), a leader in Web security
appliances, today announced the latest software upgrade to its iPrism Web
Filter, v6.3, providing an Auto-Login (or Single Sign-on) feature for Macs
running Tiger or Leopard. This new functionality expands the authentication
capabilities of iPrism enjoyed by Windows users today by offering an easy
way to identify Mac workstations without additional software.
With iPrism v6.3, customers can use the Web filter with Mac workstations just
like they do with Windows systems, applying a ubiquitous policy across the
network regardless of the platform. iPrism v6.3 doesn't require any
additional software on any system in the network, so the process is both
easy and convenient for overburdened IT staff. Since educational
institutions often end up with a collection of Mac and Windows computers
when blending legacy with new equipment, iPrism v6.3 allows schools to
bridge their Apple and Microsoft users with the same industry-leading
security and creates a cohesive computing atmosphere.
iPrism v6.3 supports Active Directory 2008 authentication using Kerberos
and LDAP v3, making iPrism an even more powerful and flexible Internet filtering
solution for customers. Mac clients can now take advantage of Auto-Login
from OSX Tiger and Leopard clients. By using the Directory Utility
function, users can bind the clients to the same Directory service as
iPrism. Those who don't bind clients to Active Directory can use a
locally-cached credential with a one-time prompt from iPrism. This feature
is available in proxy and iPrism's exclusive transparent bridge modes.
"Education customers have been eagerly waiting for the ability to
seamlessly authenticate and enforce policy to both Apple and Microsoft
computers," said Shawn Swanby, president at Ednetics, Inc., a leading
provider of technology solutions to the education community. "St. Bernard
has delivered innovative Web filtering technologies aimed to protect
against malware and other security threats while safeguarding students'
online experience. We are pleased to see them provide this critical
functionality to the education community."
"Integration across blended Mac and Windows platforms has proved
challenging for IT administrators and seamless authentication has been a
sticking point in the industry for quite a while," said Steve Yin, vice
president of global sales and marketing at St. Bernard. "To make the
authentication process even easier for administrators, iPrism is the only
Internet filter on
the market that doesn't require any additional software or client on any
system in the network. This release further allows our customers to more
effectively and efficiently meet compliance requirements in the education
environment, while preventing Web-related threats regardless of platform
used."
