If SAP is deployed on Windows Server, Microsoft Active Directory can be easily configured to centrally manage user authentication and access control. However, when SAP is deployed on AIX, HP-UX, Solaris or various Linux distributions, end-users are often required to enter their credentials every time they access it. They may even have multiple SAP usernames and passwords to access different modules owned by separate business units within their organization.</p> <p>In such environments, end-users, corporate IT managers, and SAP administrators feel the pain every day. End-users, frustrated by having so many usernames and passwords to remember, may write their login info down so they can refer to it later, exposing the company to security breaches should these details fall into the wrong hands. Administrators are burdened with provisioning and de-provisioning accounts, and for resetting passwords and managing account lockouts. SAP represents one more group of identities that needs to be managed locally, requiring labor-intensive administration that can compromise security. Without centralized management of user accounts and identity policies such as the password policy, regulatory compliance is also more difficult to achieve.</p> <p>In this free webinar, Corey Williams, Centrify Director of Product Management, explains how Centrify DirectControl for SAP addresses these challenges by leveraging your existing Active Directory infrastructure to deliver single sign-on and centralized identity management for your SAP ERP system.</p> <p><a href="http://www.centrify.com/request.asp?o=46&amp;c=51&amp;f=2">View the Webinar and get the White Paper</a></p> </div><br/><a href='http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/single-sign-on-for-sap-on-unixlinux----free-webinar-and-white-paper-.aspx'><img src='/images/feedcomments.png' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Go To Comments' border='0'/></a>&nbsp;<a href='http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/single-sign-on-for-sap-on-unixlinux----free-webinar-and-white-paper-.aspx'>Comments(0)</a>Thu, 05 Jun 2008 00:19:00 -05002009-11-10T00:36:39-06:00http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/web-and-java-application-sso----free-webinar-and-white-paper-.aspxhttp://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/web-and-java-application-sso----free-webinar-and-white-paper-.aspxCentrifyCase Study<div> <p><strong>Leverage Active Directory for secure and cost-effective single sign-on and federation for Apache, WebLogic, JBoss and WebSphere applications</strong></p> <p>Every day, users at companies of all types and sizes rely on web and Java applications for critical business functions.

Using DirectSecure, organizations can prevent unauthorized access to computing resources and data, improve regulatory compliance, and have optimal, policy-driven protection against network attacks for mixed Windows and UNIX/Linux environments.</p> <p class="quote">“Dynamic data centers contain a mix of Windows servers, UNIX and Linux servers, and virtual servers, which going forward will increasingly extend their reach out to services hosted in multiple cloud provider data centers, said Phil Schacter, VP and Service Director, Burton Group. “Policy-based access controls and secure connections are a key requirement to protect sensitive business information and systems.”</p> <p>DirectSecure leverages an enterprise’s existing Active Directory infrastructure and extends Microsoft's Server and Domain Isolation technology to UNIX and Linux systems — whether they are physical, virtual or in the cloud. DirectSecure also enables Microsoft® Windows® 7 users to take advantage of the Windows DirectAccess feature to securely access non-Microsoft systems and provides end-to-end encryption and security for those connections.</p> <p>Organizations can use DirectSecure to ensure that sensitive data such as financial transactions or credit card data is inaccessible to anyone but authorized users connecting through trusted computers. This results in higher levels of protection against internal or external threats — even in situations where the attacker has a valid username and password. Unlike network hardware-based methods, DirectSecure uses a host-based software approach, ensuring security policies are enforced regardless of the server’s location or application protocol. Utilizing the native IPsec support built into today’s UNIX and Linux operating systems, DirectSecure provides optional encryption of data-in-motion to address audit requirements and protect intellectual property, without requiring changes to applications or network topology. This makes DirectSecure the most secure, adaptive solution for dynamic IT environments that include distributed networks, virtualized platforms and cloud computing.</p> <h2>A Key Component of the Centrify Suite</h2> <p>Centrify DirectSecure is a component in the Centrify Suite 2010 (for more information, see related press release, “<a href="http://www.centrify.com/news/release.asp?id=2010021603&amp;c=51&amp;f=2" class="inline">Centrify Suite 2010 Expands Ability to Ensure Higher Levels of Trust, Control and Compliance in the Data Center</a>”). The Centrify Suite 2010 is an integrated family of Active Directory-based auditing, access control and identity management solutions that secure cross-platform environments of UNIX, Linux and Mac systems, workstations, Microsoft systems and applications. Centrify DirectSecure builds on top of the Centrify DirectControl architecture, which provides the ability to join a non-Microsoft system to Active Directory, thereby facilitating the ability for a UNIX or Linux system to obtain a Kerberos ticket or, with DirectSecure installed, to obtain a PKI certificate. DirectControl also provides the cross-platform Group Policy engine that DirectSecure leverages to apply end-point authentication policies. Other complementary solutions in the Centrify Suite include DirectAuthorize, which provides granular role-based security; DirectAudit, which provides user-level auditing of non-Microsoft systems: and DirectManage, which centralizes the discovery, management and user administration of UNIX and Linux systems.</p> <p>Organizations use Centrify Suite to enforce consistent security policies and protect against security breaches from inside and outside threat; to meet compliance requirements by controlling access and auditing all privileged user activity; to increase operational efficiency of IT staff by delivering a single tool to administer user access across heterogeneous systems and reduce calls for password resets; and to improve end-user productivity by decreasing the number of login IDs across heterogeneous systems and applications.</p> <h2>Availability</h2> <p>DirectSecure is licensed as a component in the Centrify Suite 2010 Platinum Edition and is now available from Centrify and worldwide reseller partners for computer end-point authentication leveraging Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and pre-shared keys (PSK). Computer end-point authentication leveraging Kerberos and support for Microsoft DirectAccess is available under the Centrify early access program.</p> <h2>About Centrify</h2> <p>Centrify enables organizations to reduce IT expenses, strengthen security and enhance compliance by centrally securing their cross-platform data centers through Active Directory-based identity and access management. By leveraging Active Directory, organizations have a cost-effective solution for authentication, access control, role-based privilege management, user-level auditing and server protection for heterogeneous systems, hypervisors and applications.

In this blog post I will give an overview of DirectAccess and discuss how Centrify <a href="http://www.centrify.com/directsecure/server-and-domain-isolation.asp?c=51&amp;f=2" class="inline">DirectSecure</a> embraces and extends it to non-Microsoft platforms; i.e. even better together. </p> <p>[Many thanks to our CTO Paul Moore for helping me on this blog post.]</p> <p>DirectAccess is new technology in Windows 7 that gives a mobile user an ‘always-on’ connection to corporate resources. The user has the same network experience when docked at his desk and when using a WI-FI connection in a hotel; it all just works. For example, say I am in a hotel room and I start Outlook, it will automatically connect me to the Exchange Server; if a piece of mail I receive has a link to one of our internal web sites then clicking on it will automatically connect me to the web server.</p> <p>DirectAccess works by taking advantage of several new features that Microsoft added in the new network stack introduced in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista and enhanced for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. These include the ability to have the DNS client use different name servers for different domains, user level authentication in IPSec and a rich set of IPv4/IPv6 interoperation capabilities.</p> <img width="550" height="152" alt="DirectAccess" src="http://www.centrify.com/library/internet/images/blogs_kemp_centrify_123_exhibit_1.gif" /> <p>The DirectAccess Server runs on Windows Server 2008 R2 and the clients must be Windows 7. The backend systems can run Windows 2003 or Windows 2008; apart from the IPV6 requirements the DirectAccess setup is transparent to them.</p> <p>One obvious question is how secure it is: the answer is ‘very’. The computer that the user uses to connect must be an Active Directory (“AD”) domain member and have a certificate issued by the domain. Secondly the user must be logged on to that computer using their domain user and password. Only if both these conditions are met will the DirectAccess server open a tunnel to the corporate network. The tunnel itself is protected via IPSec so that all data is encrypted (just like a normal VPN).</p> <p>Notice also that the traffic works the other way too; management servers in the corporate network that need to connect to the user machine to perform housekeeping tasks can do so via DirectAccess even when the target machine is on the Internet.</p> <p>DirectAccess also takes the IPsec deployment strategy called <a href="http://www.centrify.com/directsecure/server-and-domain-isolation.asp" class="inline">Server and Domain Isolation</a> (“SDI”) to the next level. It is seamlessly integrated into the DirectAccess setup experience; the admin just checks a box saying “yes I want end to end encryption of data.” They can also choose to only allow certain machines access to those servers. This one wizard page replaces a very complex setup in older versions of Windows.</p> <p>Where is this useful? Imagine I have a financial planning server and I want to ensure that all data flowing on the network to and from it is encrypted (even inside the corporate network , and I want to ensure that only a specific set of machine can access it: this is SDI. DirectAccess now allows that to work even though the permitted machines might be on the Internet; the data is always encrypted and only a specific set of machines may access the data.</p> <p>[For more information, I found this article on the “<a href="http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/10things/?p=1371" class="inline" target="_blank">10 things you need to know about DirectAccess</a>” as providing a good introduction to DirectAccess.]</p> <h2>How does Centrify help?</h2> <p>As you would expect DirectAccess works great with an all Windows environment; but what happens if the back end services are hosted on non Windows systems? The answer is that things don’t work so well. </p> <p>First, basic network connectivity. DirectAccess uses IPv6 extensively and so the corporate network must either be already running IPv6 (unlikely) or they must use an IPv4/v6 transition technology called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISATAP" class="inline" target="_blank">ISATAP</a>. ISATAP is transparent to the network itself but the hosts must support it and must be correctly configured.</p> <p>Second, SDI. SDI is built on top of many Microsoft technologies, AD, Group Policy, Certificate server, etc. None of these are supported by non-Windows systems. </p> <p>Centrify’s DirectSecure product delivers both the ISATAP and <a href="http://www.centrify.com/blogs/tomkemp/pci_network_segmentation_and_isolation.asp?c=51&amp;f=2" class="inline">SDI support</a> to a heterogeneous DirectAccess deployment. By building on the AD infrastructure provided by our flagship DirectControl product we deliver a seamless Group Policy-driven implementation of all the necessary building blocks.</p> <h2>What about UAG?</h2> <p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/unified-access-gateway/en/us/" class="inline" target="_blank">Microsoft’s Forefront Unified Access Gateway</a> (acquired with the purchase of Whale Communications) can be deployed with DirectAccess. It changes a few things but does not impact the value that Centrify brings. If a customer deploys the NAT64 feature of UAG then the need for ISATAP disappears. The SDI piece stays basically the same.</p> <h2>Summary</h2> <p>The bottom line is that Centrify's DirectSecure product enables DirectAccess to securely communicate with UNIX and Linux systems via end-to-end (versus just end-to-edge) IPsec authentication and encryption of network traffic.</p> <p>So this means that Bill Gate’s vision of “secure anywhere access” can now be extended to enterprise resources running on any platform (well ok, just the major modern UNIXes and Linuxes :-) via Centrify as well as more recent Windows OSes via Microsoft). In other words, even better together.</p> <img width="550" height="302" alt="DirectAccess" src="http://www.centrify.com/library/internet/images/blogs_kemp_centrify_123_exhibit_2.gif" /><br/><a href='http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/what-is-directaccess-and-how-you-can-extend-it-to-non-microsoft-platforms-eg-unix--linux.aspx'><img src='/images/feedcomments.png' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='Go To Comments' border='0'/></a>&nbsp;<a href='http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/what-is-directaccess-and-how-you-can-extend-it-to-non-microsoft-platforms-eg-unix--linux.aspx'>Comments(0)</a>Tue, 09 Mar 2010 17:29:59 -06002010-03-09T17:30:00-06:00http://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/centrify-express-provides-free-and-easy-on-ramp-to-active-directory-based-authentication-for-linux-and-mac-os-x-.aspxhttp://www.interopvendoralliance.com//blogs/centrify/centrify-express-provides-free-and-easy-on-ramp-to-active-directory-based-authentication-for-linux-and-mac-os-x-.aspxCentrifyNewsCentrify Corporation, the leader in securing and auditing access to cross-platform systems and applications through Active Directory, today announced availability of Centrify Express, a new set of free software applications and tools, content resources and community forums designed to help organizations improve security and compliance of data center and desktop systems. A subset of the company's award-winning Centrify Suite of identity and access management solutions (IAM), Centrify Express is ideal for organizations interested in establishing a single sign-on experience for Linux and Mac users based on their existing Active Directory credentials. To download the free software, visit <a href="http://www.centrify.com/express/free-active-directory-tools-for-linux-mac.asp" class="inline">www.centrify.com/express</a>. <p>"We are very proud of the large and growing ecosystem of partners such as Centrify who have chosen interoperability with Canonical for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS," says Matt Asay, COO, Canonical. "With the free Centrify Express offering, organizations of all shapes and sizes can quickly and easily integrate desktops and servers running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS with Active Directory."</p> <p>Gartner's 2010 <a href="http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1384214" class="inline" target="_blank">CIO Survey</a> places identity management as the number one IT security priority through 2011. The potential misuse of shared credentials by insiders is leading IT managers to focus on ensuring authentication to key internal and cloud-based systems to eliminate unauthorized access. In a climate where budgets are still tight amid multiple competing priorities, Centrify Express represents a cost-effective solution for ensuring authorized access by requiring users to log in as themselves rather than using shared accounts or account credentials that are difficult to map back to a specific individual. And Centrify Express delivers this capability by letting organizations both big and small leverage an existing infrastructure they have already deployed — Microsoft Active Directory — to secure their heterogeneous computing environment.</p> <p>Centrify Express comprises:</p> <ul class="expand"> <li><strong>DirectControl Express.</strong> Enables Linux and Mac OS X servers and workstations to participate in a Windows Active Directory domain and gives users Active Directory-based single sign-on.</li> <li><strong>DirectManage Express.</strong> Automates deployment and management activities by providing a central solution to discover non-Windows systems on a network; assess and validate the system's ability to join Active Directory; download the right packages for systems; and automatically deploy software to join systems to Active Directory — all from one easy-to-use graphical management tool.</li> <li><strong>Centrify-Enabled Open Source Tools and Utilities.</strong> Allows for cross-platform connectivity and file sharing with Centrify-enabled versions of OpenSSH, PuTTY and Samba that have been enhanced and tested to seamlessly work with Active Directory and support Kerberos while delivered as easy-to-install pre-compiled packages.</li> <li><strong>Centrify Express Community:</strong> A full open community, moderated by Centrify technical experts and customers, to support learning, collaboration and best-practice development in support of single sign-on and related security and compliance initiatives, featuring forums, how-to videos, best-practice guides and more.</li> </ul> <p>Centrify Express is a subset of the capabilities provided by the Centrify Suite that layers on additional capabilities such as Group Policy, role-based access control as an industrial strength replacement of sudo, privileged identity management, user-level auditing, server isolation and encryption of data-in-motion. Centrify Express customers can simply use Express for free or subsequently upgrade some or all of their non-Microsoft systems to various editions of the Centrify Suite that meet their needs.</p> <p>"Cross-platform identity and access management solutions have traditionally been too costly and complex for smaller to medium sized businesses (SMBs), but they often have some of the same security and compliance requirements such as PCI as larger organizations," said Frank Cabri, vice president of marketing at Centrify. "Centrify's approach of leveraging Active Directory combined with our free Express offering will now allow those organizations to easily improve security and compliance for their systems and layer on additional capabilities as their business evolves."</p> <h2>Resources to Ensure Your Success</h2> <p>The Centrify Express program offers a comprehensive set of resources and support to ensure a successful experience, including:</p> <ul class="expand"> <li><strong>Community Site and Forums.</strong> Want to talk with other Express users or learn more about how Centrify Express integrates with your environment?

Provisioning and de-provisioning users and performing password resets drain help desk resources and affect productivity and user satisfaction. Employee frustration increases with the number of separate login credentials they need to remember, and forgetting a password can idle them for hours or days while waiting for an account reset to restore access to an application.<br /> <br /> Managing access to applications on non-Microsoft systems also presents security risks. While the Active Directory account of an exiting employee may be de-provisioned quickly to cut off access to email and VPN, entitlements to intranets, HR or finance applications, partner portals, and other applications may not be disabled for hours, days - or ever.<br /> <br /> Join this event to gain a better understanding of the advantages of implementing web and enterprise application single sign-on. Learn why tying web, enterprise and B2B applications entitlements to Active Directory accounts is a simple, cost-effective, and highly reliable method of addressing IT security best practices and regulatory compliance.</p> <!-- end main text--> <p><br /> <br /> <a id="topics" name="topics" title="topics"></a><strong>Perry Carpenter, Gartner Analyst will examine:</strong></p> <ul class="expand"> <li>The security drivers and business challenges associated with managing entitlements for web and enterprise applications in large, heterogeneous environments.</li> <li>How application access must be managed to meet regulatory requirements and conform to best security practices.</li> <li>The important role Active Directory can play as the central identity store in complex, cross-platform environments.</li> </ul> <p><br /> <strong>Corey Williams, Centrify Director of Product Management will describe:</strong></p> <ul class="expand"> <li>Centrify DirectControl's Kerberos/LDAP support for intranet single sign-on, and ADFS/SAML support for extranet single sign-on.</li> <li>How DirectControl leverages Active Directory infrastructure to support web application platforms such as Apache, WebSphere, WebLogic and JBoss, and ERP apps like SAP.</li> <li>The benefits of centrally managing and enforcing passwords and policies that enable single sign-on, including increased end-user satisfaction and reduced helpdesk incidents.</li> <li>How DirectControl provides a cost-effective solution to identity federation in partner ecosystems.</li> </ul> <p>You will also receive two complimentary white papers.
