Directory Services
Virtual Directory
for Hybrid IAM
Consolidate enterprise identity and access management across LDAP and Active Directory—one adaptive, secure directory layer for applications, VPN, and Zero Trust policies.
20+ MFA Methods
Adaptive MFA for VPN
The EmpowerID Virtual Directory Server integrates with EmpowerID's Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) module to provide strong LDAP authentication to applications, Linux machines, Mac OS, firewalls, network devices, and VPN servers within your network infrastructure.
EmpowerID verifies user credentials against either the Identity Warehouse or live against connected directories like Active Directory. EmpowerID analyzes LDAP logins using the same context-driven policies as with web logins and enforces them with adaptive MFA authentication rules.
Single Access Point
Unify Your Directories
Many companies have a combination of multiple LDAP directories, Active Directories, and SQL databases with each containing fragments of their users' profile information.
Unfortunately, many applications and operating systems only support the use of a single directory. Having information scattered across separate repositories creates substantial challenges.
For organizations with enterprise architectures that maintain separate directories for internal and external users, this is a significant problem.
The EmpowerID Virtual Directory solves this integration challenge by unifying all the directories in your organization into a single LDAP Directory access point. It also addresses the challenge of delegated authentication by allowing separate authentication paths for internal and external users.
Zero Trust Security
LDAP Data Firewall
The Virtual Directory Server supports Zero Trust security programs by acting as a proxy (or barrier) between your users and the sensitive data stored in your corporate Active Directories.
This provides a two-fold benefit:
- Adding a valuable security layer to protect sensitive information
- Reducing the load on your production directories
EmpowerID's attribute and organizational structure aware data privacy policies ensure that only authenticated applications and users see the attributes and objects to which they have access.
Workflow Integration
Single LDAP API for Data Updates
The Virtual Directory also supports Create, Update, and Delete (CRUD) actions against any connected directory object. These actions tie into EmpowerID's visually designed workflows and can act as triggers for additional updates, actions, or flows.
For example, a create action may trigger a sophisticated multi-step workflow that creates a user, provisions their account, sends email notifications to approvers, triggers additional workflows, and much more.
Fully customizable, actions are easy to work with, provide full auditing capabilities including logging and tracking, and are secure.
