Active Directory Integration for Storage Systems
Leverage Active Directory to centrally manage access to Linux, UNIX and Mac file shares
In a mixed environment where both Windows and UNIX users need to access common files or directories, there is a need for a common security model to control access. Centrify provides solutions for centrally managing access to storage systems via Active Directory.
For Samba, a popular open source version of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol for UNIX and Linux, Centrify provides an enhanced version that has been recompiled to work seamlessly on a Centrify-managed system.
