LDAP and Active Directory Integration

Effective with revision 6.0, Secure4Access now includes Unix/Linux, LDAP and Active Directory integration allowing for seamless enterprise identity management solution.

Account Management

• Create and manage local, LDAP and Active Directory accounts and groups from Unix/Linux using the Secure4Access management tool.
• Cross-platform accounts have a synchronized superset of Secure4Access, Active Directory and Unix/Linux privileges.
• LDAP/Active Directory account management is restricted to specified Unix/Linux manager systems.
• Easily export existing local accounts to LDAP and Active Directory.
• Activate existing Active Directory accounts for use on a Unix/Linux network with a single command.
• UID and GID allocation for Active Directory accounts is handled automatically without the need for UID/SID cross-reference tables.
• Active Directory and local account UIDs are allocated in separate system management defined ranges.

Account Access

• Local, LDAP and Active Directory account records are accessible from all configured Unix/Linux systems using the name service switch (NSS).
• A Secure4Access pluggable authentication module (PAM) allows all PAM-enabled applications to authenticate against all cross-platform accounts and their passwords.
• Account credentials/passwords, validity and required style are consistent across all systems. Changes made on any system will be available to all.

System Configuration & Control

• A menu driven configuration program provides quick and easy Secure4Access installation and configuration with LDAP and Active Directory.
• Automatically update PAM and NSS configuration files.
• Add and remove Unix/Linux LDAP/AD manager system privileges.
• An extensive range of Secure4Access configuration options are available to allow you to make the key management decisions.
