Centrify DirectControl for Storage Systems
Secure, centralized user mapping for EMC and NetApp storage systems and Samba
Secure
Active Directory-based user mapping to different vendors' storage devices and file systems.
Easy to deploy and manage
Leverages existing Active Directory accounts and groups. Single point of administration simplifies complex network file system access provisioning and management.
Non-intrusive
Does not require changes to Active Directory schema or software on domain controllers.
In a mixed environment where both Windows and UNIX systems need to access common files or directories, there is a need for a common security model to control access. Centrify DirectControl for Storage Systems provides an identity mapping mechanism centrally managed within Active Directory that links a user's Windows account to a UNIX profile containing the user's UNIX account attributes.
How It Works
Centrify DirectControl's core feature is its ability to enable UNIX, Linux and Mac servers and workstations to participate in an Active Directory domain. The Centrify DirectControl Agent effectively turns the host system into an Active Directory client. Through its Resource Center, Centrify provides free documentation and downloads to help you configure the host system for Active Directory integration leveraging DirectControl.
NetApp and EMC
Centrify provides an application note that details how to configure the host system to implement Active Directory-based user mapping. Visit the Centrify Resource to learn more and get the application note:
Samba
