The Aurorean Policy Server is the nucleus of the virtual network management architecture. A scalable platform developed uniquely for global VPN management, the Aurorean Policy Server provides centralized authentication, policy-based access control, configuration management, fault management and performance optimization for the enterprise VPN. The central authority for administering, maintaining and controlling user and group profiles, the Aurorean Policy Server defines dialing characteristics, access rights, administrative elements, security settings, cost policies and system-wide VPN parameters. Policies are checked and updated during every VPN session, then locked down and enforced in the VPN client.
