Consistent
user information is critical for proper security. Yet, without a
centralized data store, managing user information across multiple
applications can be a manual, error-prone process that results in
inconsistencies. Check Point’s User Directory Software Blade enables
Check Point Security Gateways to leverage LDAP-based user information,
eliminating the risks associated with manually maintaining and
synchronizing redundant data stores.
With Check
Point's User Directory Software Blade, Check Point Security Gateways
become full LDAP clients which communicate with LDAP servers to obtain
identification and security information about network users. The User
Directory Software Blade leverages the flexibility of the LDAP protocol
by extending the schema to include all necessary user-level security
elements. This information is then available not only to Check Point
Security Gateways to enforce enterprise security policy, but to any
LDAP-compliant application, enabling centralized user management
throughout the enterprise.
Key Benefits
- Enables Check Point Security Gateways to obtain user identification and security information
- Extends LDAP schema automatically to include all user security element necessary
- Open LDAP interface extends other LDAP-compliant applications to increase security management control throughout the enterprise
