NACS provides you a comfortable and secure way, to provide untrusted
computers access to your TCP/IP-based (v4) LAN/WAN.
The system guarantees that only registered users are able to use network-resources
on your LAN/WAN-infrastructure.
In contrast to other solutions, like PPTP or IPsec, it is not necessary to install a certain
client software.
The client machines only need an dhcp-client (automated networkconfiguration)
and a ssl-capable webbrowser.
On serverside you need the following components:
- Linux-system with kernel 2.4.X
- Jakarta-Tomcat Servlet Engine
- JDK 1.3/JDK 1.4
- Apache Webserver
- MySQL-Database
- A firewall which secures your network generally
NACS actually gets its login and password data from a normal linux-style passwd file,
because this is the preferred auth-mechanism at our university.
This implementation supports the integration of other auth-mechanisms (i.e.LDAP).
The current documentation is currently available in the german language only.
NACS was designed and written by Thorsten Huber and Marc Schöchlin.
