A registration method and agent server

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention discloses a logon method which includes the following steps: according to pre-configured logon strategy, an agent server determines logon modes of an endpoint which tries to visit network resources (the logon modes comprise an active logon mode and a passive logon mode); according to the determined logon mode, logon for the endpoint is carried out; With the method, the agent server can, according to the logon strategy, adopt different logon modes flexibly for different endpoints controlled by the agent server. As to the endpoint with great danger, only passive logon is permitted to guarantee network security; as to the endpoint with high security requirements, the active logon is permitted to provide high-quality service to the endpoint. The embodiment of the invention also discloses an agent server which comprises a logon strategy configuring module, a main control module and a logon module.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the registration technology of the endpoint in the network, in particular to a registration method and a proxy server. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the Internet in the world, security threats at the application layer, such as viruses and hacker attacks, emerge in an endless stream. This is mainly due to the open architecture of IP technology and the lack of its own security protection. The purpose of Network Endpoint Assessment (NEA) is to protect the network from threats that originate from unsecured endpoints. These unsafe endpoints include endpoints that have been infected by viruses or have certain security vulnerabilities. In the NEA system, the network administrator collects the system status information of the endpoint through the agent software installed on the endpoint trying to access the network, and conducts an evaluation to examine its compliance with the network security policy.

Problems solved by technology

If the active registration method is adopted, the server may be overloaded, and in the face of frequent registration by malicious clients, it will lead to a serious decline in the quality of network service; if the passive registration method is adopted, the endpoints without proxy clients will be unable to complete the registration, preventing it from accessing network resources

It can be seen that no matter active or passive registration methods, neither network security nor high-quality service requirements can be taken into account
