40. Unified Authentication Gateway
Platform Project

41. University of Malaya 41
Unified Authentication Gateway Platform
OBJECTIVES:
1. To prepare the for campus Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
2. To capture the user information and behaviour on the network
3. To provide visibility, accountability and controllability for
every user in the campus who accessing the campus network.
4. To study, educate and cultivate the campus user on the proper
use of the network and internet facilities provided by UM.

Unified Authentication Gateway Platform
ARCHITECTURE

43. University of Malaya 43
Unified Authentication Gateway Platform
1) Single SSID for (Staff, Student, Guest) ; UM-WiFI
1) Different group of users will only need single SSID to be broadcast in the
campus network, less confuse to the end user to know which SSID should be
use in order to gain access to the campus network
2) User Isolation
In this Simplistic Campus Network, all the connected users will be isolated at
layer 2 of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. Connected devices will
not able to directly communicate with each other even in the same broadcast
domain.
FEATURES

3. Seamless Authentication
Seamless authentication enable the granted user to key in password once at the first
time connect to campus network, subsequent reconnect to the network will be pre-
authenticated and no further authentication via web-authentication until device
binding expired or unbind manually.
4. Concurrent online device control
Limit users’ concurrent device online. Staff login service portal to view online devices
