Symlabs, a provider of identity management offerings, has introduced new version 6.0 of Virtual Directory Server and LDAP Proxy with enhanced features that increases functionality for Active Directory environments.
Kerberos authentication supports Active Directory installations and the new Kerberos Service-For-User (S4U) extensions in Symlabs Virtual Directory Server provide security to all connected applications.
The company said that both the products benefit from increased speed for Windows input-output operations and plug-ins for extended support of pagination, dynamic groups, and Active Directory schemas.
The addition of Kerberos S4U support allows Symlabs Virtual Directory Server to create authentication directly between an application and the Active Directory it needs to access, with no need for adaptation on the part of the application itself.
This feature enables a security policy that embraces all applications in the infrastructure, even if they have limited capabilities on their own.
In addition, the Windows engine for both products has been integrated with the native I/O completion ports functionality.
