Adaxes - Active Directory Identity Management Solution

Adaxes is a software solution developed by Softerra, which provides efficient management of Microsoft Active Directory, including security, administration, and management services. Active Directory is the directory service developed by Microsoft for use with its network and domain services. In a nutshell, it is a service or program that manages all network user accounts and log-ins. Each user is registered into the active directory and given log-in credentials, a username, and a password.  Whenever the user logs in to a Windows system computer, Active Directory determines whether the user is a normal user or administrator based on how the user was registered, and is given access rights according to his or her registration status. This controls the degree of access users have in the computer environment, thereby establishing security and control.

In large organizations or complex network systems, management of these credentials can be difficult and downright confusing—not to mention expensive. This is where Adaxes comes into play. It provides a console for Windows Active Directory and simplifies processes in relation to maintaining and managing it.

In a nutshell, Adaxes makes the administration of Active Directory much easier—and there are many benefits to using it. One of the biggest advantages of using Adaxes is the ability to give standard users password self-service consoles so that they can change or even recover log-ins or passwords without seeking IT assistance. It also allows role based delegation, which sets permissions that users need. Custom commands allow administrators to perform complex Active Directory tasks. Adaxes likewise provides the ability to launch various tasks at predetermined times, like sending notifications to users, deleting inactive accounts, synchronization tasks, and more. It makes it easier to automate common tasks to optimize procedures and eliminate time wasted by manual operation. Finally, it maintains consistency and sets standards for Active Directory.
