Network Access Control System

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. In contrast to other solutions, like PPTP or IPsec, it is not necessary to install program-specific client software. The client machines only need a DHCP client (automated networkconfiguration) and an SSL capable Web browser. The server needs a 2.4 kernel, Jakarta-Tomcat Servlet Engine, JDK 1.3/JDK 1.4, Apache, MySQL, and firewall which secures your network in general. NACS gets its login and password data from a normal Linux-style passwd file. This implementation supports the integration of other authentication mechanisms (such as LDAP).
