CTO Paul Moore describes how DirectControl provides Active Directory-based single sign-on for web applications, including a discussion of how DirectControl supports Microsoft Active Directory Federation Service.

The Centrify DirectControl Authentication Guide for Apache describes how DirectControl enables you to set up Active Directory authentication for Apache applications in a variety of use cases.

Centrify DirectControl for Apache delivers Active Directory-based web single sign-on for both intranet and extranet applications hosted on popular UNIX and Linux systems.

  • For intranet applications, DirectControl enables Active Directory-based web SSO via Kerberos and LDAP.
  • For extranet applications, DirectControl leverages Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to provide federated identity management for both business-to-business and business-to-customer web applications.

A single DirectControl web module supports both authentication methods, and snaps seamlessly into the DirectControl Agent. This provides organizations with a single, integrated architecture to secure and manage access to host systems and the applications running on them. DirectControl leverages the organization's Active Directory infrastructure, accounts and groups for seamless integration into existing management processes. No additional servers or software are required.

The Centrify DirectControl Authentication Guide for Apache provides complete information on configuring Apache web servers and applications to use Centrify DirectControl and Active Directory for authentication. This guide is intended for Apache administrators and application developers who are responsible for managing user access to Apache resources.
