RE: How AAA in PIX Firewall ?

[Adel Guia Cruz <aguia () fifomi gob mx>]

Hello WES


I check Websense and N2H2 and this is exactly what I need for Filter HTTP in
PIX Firewall. The Pix and the software use IFP protocol (Internet Filter
Protocol) to communicate.

The problem is that this software are very expensive, you know another
solution less expensive. 

So I need to buy PIX Firewall and a content filtering software (That support
IFP to communicate with PIX ), and for authentication I can use Microsoft
IAS ?

Thanks for the advises

1) Not necessarily. You could go netopia or something similar for the remote
sites. If not, the cost of 15 PIX 501's would be somewhere in the $6000-7000
range which is about $3000 more give or take what a 515E-UR would cost.
2) I would recommend setting up a content filtering server as that sounds
more in line with what you really need. PIX supports Websense and N2H2 for
content filtering.

Don't sweat the English. It's better than my Spanish. :-)
