Centrify DirectControl Console

DirectControl offers a GUI that clearly outlines the managed elements and offers wizards and assistance to make getting started easy.

Centrify Suite will automatically map an Active Directory user to the appropriate Unix User Identifier. This may be set globally and may also be configured so that an Active Directory user could use a different Unix UID on different computers.

Administrators can define roles for users and systems, creating an easy way to manage security and single sign-on for users across multiple systems.

Roles are assigned based on a number of elements and can be time controlled as well, allowing administrators to create auto-expiring memberships.

Centrify Suite enables delegation of administrative rights. Within a deployment there may be different people responsible for different zones.

Policies set up at the global zone (or elsewhere in the hierarchy) are inherited down the hierarchy. The administrator has the ability to set finer granularity along this hierarchy.

Computer Roles allow the administrator to set policies across a set of computers that share similar functionality—for example, all database servers or all Web servers.

Deployment Manager is used to gather information about the environment, automatically obtain the correct agent software and deploy the software. Centrify supports approximately 400 different operating systems and versions.

Discovered systems and users are displayed based upon canned or user-defined filters, presenting information in the most logical format for the associated network infrastructure.

Direct Audit can play back user sessions on Windows, Unix, Linux and Mac systems, providing exceptional detail for auditing and forensics purposes.
