With DirectControl for UNIX and Linux, enterprises easily migrate and manage complex UNIX-based environments, rapidly consolidate identities into the directory, organize granular access, and simplify administration. DirectControl, through Centrify's patented Zone technology, allows organizations to easily establish global UNIX identities, centrally manage exceptions on legacy systems, and delegate administration. It is an integrated component of Centrify Suite 2012, Centrify's security and compliance solution for controlling, securing and auditing access to cross-platform systems and applications using Active Directory.
