Network Policy Service Windows Server 2008

With security becoming the hottest issue in Information Technology it may become necessary to implement a Network Policy Server in your environment. This tutorial will focus only on the installation of NPS itself.

NPS (or in previous versions of Windows Server; IAS) is mainly used for 802.1x authentication, more specifically to secure wireless and virtual private network (VPN) access against LDAP, or even more secure, machine and user certificates.

Open up your server manager with it’s quick bar icon or open the Windows menu and type servermanager.svc. In the left pane right click on roles and select add new role.

The wizard start page read through carefully.

Select the server role you wish to add, in this case the Network Policy and Access Services.

This page says that NPS can be configured as a RADIUS and or NAP server.

Since we focus mainly on NPS here select the first one.

Confirm your selections.

Installation should take only a few moments.

And that’s it.
As you can see installing NPS is rather easy and painless, configuring it is where the fun begins.

Session Messenger----Best Secure Messaging App

Session is fundamentally different than most other secure messaging services. Conversations in Session are secured using client-side E2E encryption . Only the sender and the recipient of a message can read it. But Session goes beyond providing message security. Session also protects the identities of its users. It makes your communications private and anonymous, as well as secure. Session can do this because it connects users through a Tor -like network of thousands of Service Nodes . Service Nodes are servers that pass messages back and forth through the network as well as provide additional services. The onion request system that Session uses to protect messages ensures that no Service Node in the network ever knows both a message’s origin (your IP address) and destination (the recipient’s IP address). This allows you to hide your IP by default. Session takes a number of additional steps to protect your identity: No phone number is required for registration No email is r

Linuxfx 10 : A Windows-Like Linux Distro

The idea of Linuxfx is to make it easier for people who are migrating from Windows 7. People who are dissatisfied with the lack of security and stability of Windows 10 are also fit for Linuxfx. LinuxFX Desktop : Apart from Windows-like looks, Linuxfx also has more to offer which a regular user will definitely admire. So, let’s get along with me to know more about Windows alternative Linuxfx. As usual, I started by downloading the ISO image of Linuxfx from the official site here . Then, instead of dual-booting, I decided to install it on my VirtualBox to play safely. After finishing the basic configuration, as soon as I booted it, I noticed a Windows logo and system integrity check. That’s quite surprising because every Linux distro puts their own or OEM logo on that place. But I think Linuxfx wants to make migrating users feel like home from the beginning. Entering the boot menu, Linuxfx redirected and logged in to a live session. Whoah! it can also detect the system I’m using — anoth
