Active Directory Bridge Products: Getting More Value from the Windows Infrastructure
Presenter: Mark Diodati
Duration: 3hrs 32min
Description: Enterprises are deploying Active Directory (AD) bridge products, which have emerged as an effective tool for deriving more value from their AD infrastructure. These products (from Quest, Centrify, Likewise, and Symark) reduce costs by providing centralized identity management, authentication, sign-on reduction, and policy management for non-Windows platforms. We’ll:
- Identify sweet spots where AD bridge products can assist with compliance goals, improve security and the user experience.
- Survey the AD Bridge market and discuss recent acquisitions.
- Discuss areas of potential concern, including UNIX namespace reconciliation
- Discuss the merge of the AD bridge and “classic” UNIX security product classes (e.g., CA Access Control, Symark PowerBuilder, IBM TAMOS, and Fox Technologies BoKS)
- Step through the installation functionality of an AD bridge product, including installation, importing of UNIX users and their binding to existing Active Directory users, Group Policy Management of UNIX policies, authentication to UNIX resources against Active Directory, and single sign-on via Kerberos.
What You Will Learn:
- The different vendors in the AD bridge market, including their strengths and weaknesses
- The sweet spots where AD bridge products can reduce costs, improve compliance and security, identity management, authentication, and single sign-on.
- The features of the AD bridge products
- The specific challenges of UNIX namespace reconciliation
- Areas within AD bridge deployments that require special attention
- The installation and configuration of an AD bridge product
