Directory Authentication
Work with users and groups from an existing server.
Directory Authentication interfaces with external databases in order to make use of their users and groups in your security configuration. This allows users to surf, view their mail quarantine and connect to their VPN - all with their existing network name and password. Administrators are able to additionally generate detailed reports based on the user name.
Directory authentication servers contain user and group information along with login names and passwords. By linking existing directory authentication resources with your Astaro, you are able to re-use this existing user and group information when building a security policy. Astaro can join with many types of authentication servers, with special integration for Active Directory and eDirectory. Features that support authentication can be configured to provide benefits to both the administrator and the user.
Users can take advantage of many areas of Astaro simply by using their existing name and password they are already familiar with; no need to learn a new set of credentials. Administrators can build Web Security access profiles and then assign them to users or groups which already exist in their configuration, and gain extra detail level in many reports that replaces IP addresses with user names for better visual overviews.
