White Paper
Advanced AD Bridging
This whitepaper details Delinea’s advanced Active Directory (AD) Bridging, which unifies identity and access management across Windows, Linux, and UNIX in hybrid and cloud environments. Unlike basic AD Bridging, Delinea’s solution supports complex AD architectures, cross-forest trusts, and Zero Trust principles. Features include patented Zones for role-based access, brokered authentication to cloud instances without replicating AD, automation for DevOps, and Kerberos-based SSO with enhanced security. It also integrates with Hadoop, automates DNS and SSL management, extends Group Policy, supports smart card logins, and covers over 300 OS types. The result is centralized control, reduced risk, and streamlined compliance.
