Secure Remote Access to UNIX & Linux
While Centrify DirectControl enables organizations to secure and manage their UNIX and Linux systems using the Active Directory tools currently deployed for their Windows systems, Centrify recognizes that they also employ a variety of tools for day-to-day operations. In particular, IT managers rely heavily on remote access solutions, including offerings from commercial providers and Open Source tools, to access the systems they need to administer. Centrify helps IT managers more easily and securely manage their environment by providing DirectControl-enabled versions of popular open source tools and publishing application notes showing how to integrate other third-party products.
DirectControl-Enabled OpenSSH, Kerberos Tools and PuTTY
Centrify provides recompiled versions of OpenSSH and Kerberos tools, UNIX/Linux-based programs, and PuTTY, a Windows-based program, that have been recompiled to deliver single sign-on out-of-the-box to DirectControl-managed systems. These programs have been enhanced to provide secure, Kerberized remote access to UNIX and Linux systems, and DirectControl provides Group Policies that can be used to configure these application. These solutions are included in all editions of the Centrify Suite 2008 and include documentation.
