Manage Mac and Linux users seamlessly through Active Directory.

Active Directory is great for managing your company’s Windows users. But what about all of your Xinet users on Macs, UNIX and Linux? With Centrify, you don’t need to reinvent the wheel. You can manage these non–Windows systems using the same familiar AD tools you use with your Windows machines. No need to learn a new interface, build out a farm of servers or have additional services running on your domain controllers. Centrify doesn’t modify your current AD schema. It simply extends AD’s fine-grained control to your non–Windows systems.

For Max OSX

Take the pain out of managing your Mac laptops, desktops and (now) mobile devices. Using Centrify, you can perform all tasks – authentication, permissions, policy, and restrictions – with Active Directory Users & Computers, Policy Manager and Sites & Services.

That means you can skip the weeks of training and testing, ditch the Magic Triangle forever, and forget about maintaining separate infrastructures to manage policy.

For Linux & Unix

When you have privileged users with the ability to connect throughout your environment with little or no oversight, it can put you and your organization in a sticky situation, both legally and politically. The ideal solution is to centrally manage your users, groups and systems, so you can both maintain control and audit the results. Centrify DirectControl for Linux & Unix lets you do just that.

Even better, it comes in several flavors to meet the needs of your organization. And it’s built from the ground up to use your existing Active Directory domain.

Now with mobile support –
easily integrate iPads and iPhones!

SINGLE SIGN-ON (SSO) FOR SAAS AND WEB SERVICES

Take the pain out of managing your end-users identities and web single sign-on (SSO) when using third party SaaS services or even your own enterprise web services. Centrify Identity Service provides all of the tools you need to easily manage your users, groups, permissions and policies across your entire domain for all of your daily user activity. Centrify even offers Identity Federation capability across disparate service providers and unfederated domains!

User Self-Service also means you spend far less time resetting user passwords and accounts. Users get the convenience of Single Sign-On (Web SSO) to all of the services they use on a daily basis and should they forget their password they can simply reset it themselves using multiple secure mechanisms!
