Active Directory Web Interface
Today, the majority of organizations worldwide use Active Directory to manage and control the identity lifecycle of users. For administrators, help-desk operators, auditors and other users it is crucial to have constant and secure access to Active Directory from any location, even without having physical access to AD servers. The only way to achieve this is to provide a controlled web-based access to the Active Directory environment.
The necessity of Active Directory Web Interface increases drastically if there is a need to delegate AD management tasks to non-administrative staff. Usually, this staff doesn't have access to native AD management tools, and needs a more simple, easy-to-use and intuitive solution. Fortunately, there is such a solution - Softerra Adaxes. Among other AD management facilities, Softerra Adaxes enables highly granular, controlled, and secure Active Directory Web access.
