Features
Active Directory for UNIX, Linux and Mac
Extend the authentication, authorization and administration infrastructure of Active Directory to the rest of your enterprise. This tool enables UNIX, macOS and Linux Active Directory authentication to operate non-Windows systems as full AD citizens.
Audit, alerting and change tracking
Authentication Services enables you to alert on, audit, and show in-depth change history of UNIX-centric information being managed by Active Directory.
Group Policy for UNIX, Linux and Mac
Extend policy-based management (through Windows Group Policy) to non-Windows systems, including Group Policy for macOS using the product’s patented framework.
Single sign-on (SSO)
Implement “Kerberized” and LDAP SSO to UNIX, Linux and macOS systems in the same way they’re used in Windows. You also get out-of-the-box single sign-on for a variety of applications, including Siebel, SAP and DB2.
Simplified identity and access management
Maximize the value of your investment in Active Directory and AD-optimized identity administration tools while dramatically simplifying your existing security framework, meta-directory or synchronization solution.
NIS migration and directory consolidation
Streamline the process of extending UNIX/macOS/Linux Active Directory authentication to non-Windows systems and users. Simplify migration from multiple authentication mechanisms (including NIS), directories and identities to a single AD-based infrastructure.
Deployment flexibility
Options range from a non-impact, "schema-less" deployment to a fully rationalized environment, enabling you to deploy Authentication Services that ideally suits your objectives, environment, timelines and challenges, such as Linux Active Directory authentication.
Two-factor authentication support
Enhance security by requiring two-factor authentication for your UNIX/Linux users and administrators. In addition, Safeguard Authentication Services extends Windows-based smart cards to UNIX and Linux and supports third-party OTP solutions.
