Why SSSD May Not Be Enough Privileged Access Management to Manage Your Servers Effectively
Why SSSD May Not Be Enough Privileged Access Management to Manage Your Servers Effectively
5 PagesThis whitepaper compares IBM/Red Hat’s System Security Services Daemon (SSSD) with Delinea Server PAM, emphasizing why SSSD alone is insufficient for managing privileged access across Linux servers. While SSSD provides basic Active Directory authentication, it lacks fine-grained authorization, multi-factor authentication, auditing, and session control. Delinea’s Server PAM overcomes these limitations with centralized sudo management, patented Zone Technology, MFA, passwordless login, session recording, just-in-time access, and workflow integration with ServiceNow. By selectively mapping AD groups to Linux systems, it avoids SSSD’s performance and caching issues, delivering stronger security, scalability, and compliance across hybrid infrastructures.
