NetIQ eDirectory provides a broad array of services that are necessary to manage users, computers, folders, printers, authentication, and authorization across an enterprise. eDirectory can scale to billions of identities. This means that as your business grows, eDirectory can accommodate additional identities without any performance degradation. 

NetIQ eDirectory provides authentication and a broad array of services that are necessary to manage computers, folders, and printers in large, enterprise environments. Once a user is authenticated, eDirectory Groups drive authorizations for access to objects.  The challenge in large, enterprise environments is how to manage thousands of groups, users, and their associated memberships. Security 4X is a purpose-built application that will help your team scale through control, automation, and audit in several important areas: 

Day-to-day authorizations – Daily security adds and changes to groups and group memberships costs an enterprise time and money. Security 4X streamlines the authorization process for eDirectory.

Tier-to-tier and platform-to-platform transitions – Migrating security from one platform to another, undergoing a reorganization, and testing security changes en masse is complex. Security 4X provides a suite of tools that allow you to broadly manage these types of changes.

Delegate Administration – Security 4X has a web-based administration portal, called “WebGrant”, that allows IT to delegate some administrative authority to authorized business administrators who can independently add and remove users from groups. WebGrant also comes with its own audit reports to provide visibility and traceability for all membership changes.
