Centrify Suite Reporting Tools
Centrify DirectAudit Reports for Reporting Services
Centrify DirectAudit helps you comply with regulatory requirements, perform in-depth troubleshooting, and protect against insider threats for your UNIX and Linux systems. DirectAudit's query-style interface and session-replay features enable IT auditors to search for specific commands and see exactly what changes a user made and what session output occurred. In addition to these querying and real-time monitoring features, IT auditors also need the ability to define reports — for example, a weekly report of activity across a set of computers. DirectAudit stores session data in a SQL Server database, and this open, nonproprietary format enables you to use third-party tools such as Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to easily define reports.
Centrify provides customers with an application note that describes how to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services to generate several standard reports based on the session data that DirectAudit records. The Application Note is accompanied by a set of Report Definition Files that can be used to set up a set of basic reports. The DirectAudit Reports for Reporting Services package is available free of charge in the Centrify Download Center for customers and for those evaluating Centrify Solutions.
Microsoft is pleased to see Centrify deliver a new product that enables customers to get additional value from their Active Directory deployment by seamlessly extending the identity and access capabilities of Active Directory to non-Microsoft platforms.
