The Enterprise Desktop Alliance: Making it Easy to Manage and Integrate Macs in a Windows Environment

Today five enterprise software companies announced the creation of the Enterprise Desktop Alliance (EDA) to facilitate the acceptance of the Mac in environments managed with Microsoft Windows. Centrify is pleased to be one of these five software companies participating in the EDA.

Auditing UNIX and Linux Systems

I wanted to use this blog post to discuss the ways our DirectControl and DirectAudit solutions can be used to audit your UNIX and Linux environment. Many vendors bandy about that they do auditing, but many just simply interpret and/or write to log files regarding successful and unsuccessful logon attempts. What they don't do is deal with what today's auditors and security professionals must increasingly address which is auditing user-level activity. For example, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) requires that organizations audit "all actions taken by any individual with root or administrative privileges"- not just their logon attempts. Fortunately Centrify can help with the both high-level and more detail levels of auditing required to meet organization's compliance requirements.

This blog post on our SAP SSO solution is a complement to our upcoming webinar on SAP SSO using Active Directory (which I urge you to register for :-) ) and other resources such as our white paper on SAP SSO.

We're hiring!

Web SSO for Extranet Applications using ADFS and DirectControl for Java/Web

In my last few blog posts I discussed some of the challenges customers are trying to address with Web single sign-on (SSO) solutions, the architecture and key features of our DirectControl solution for web and Java/J2EE applications, and the specific use case of web SSO for intranet applications (applications where all of the users are "internal" users such as employees, contractors and consultants.) In this final blog post regarding DirectControl for Java/Web I would like to discuss the second use case regarding web SSO for extranet applications using ADFS and DirectControl for Java/Web.
