How to Provision to Cloud Directories and Keep Them in Sync with the RadiantOne Platform
Radiant Logic Webinar
As the move to the cloud accelerates, you’re facing multiple security and access implications for your identity infrastructure. This shift began with the need to provision identities to SaaS applications, such as Salesforce or Workday. The advent of Office 365 means that hosting and syncing your AD domains and forests with a cloud directory such as Microsoft Azure AD is a new business imperative—and the move to the cloud does not end there. More organizations are beginning to shift some—or all—of their Linux/Unix applications from data centers to cloud infrastructures such as Amazon Web Services (AWS). So the need for hosting and syncing identity into some form of cloud directory for authentication and authorization is becoming a high priority.
How to Provision to Cloud Directories and Keep Them in Sync with the RadiantOne Platform
Thursday, October 6th at 1 PM Eastern and 11 AM pacific
Featuring Doug Simmons, principal consulting analyst for TechVision Research and Lisa Grady, senior technology evangelist for Radiant Logic.
Join Doug Simmons and Radiant Logic on Thursday, October 6th, where they will discuss:
- The challenge of building the unified view of your identity needed to create a reference image that will be hosted in and synced to Azure AD, or other directories on AW—and much more
- You’ll learn why this architecture demands a global, rationalized view of your identity from across diverse, distributed identity sources, including AD domains and forest, LDAP, SQL or APIs.
- You’ll discover how this global identity acts as the authoritative source for syncing to your Cloud directory.
- They’ll also explore your choices for the optimal target directory. On Azure AD, the answer is clear, but on AWS, it could be AWS AD or a more standard LDAP directory—and the best choice depends on your application mix.
