Secure Office Port Control Server (SO POC or POC) is a server acting as authentication proxy in front of underlying resources. These resources can be application servers, file servers, or the like. In the National Service Administration’s environment POC is used to authenticate users of the Information Systems PLIS and PLIS IMPROVED (IMP).
POC server also has the task to protect communication between client and target systems in terms of integrity (ensuring that data sent is unchanged) and confidentiality (the data sent is encrypted).
POC server and connecting clients uses Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) to provide authentication and security services. The clients preferably have certificates and keys lying on the smart card.
In order to define how traffic should be protected and how users will be authenticated the POC Server uses a number of rules. These rules are defined using the server’s graphical Web interface. In addition to this function the interface can also be used to:
manage which users have the right to log in via the server POC
