Do You Have Users Hiding in Your Enterprise Servers?

Are you in control of the user accounts across your enterprise systems? Defunct user accounts, duplicate IDs, excessive rights – do these plague your current accounts database? More importantly - how many account databases are you maintaining…or failing to maintain? Identity services like authentication and single sign-on are critical in today’s business environments. Managing these services is often a manual process, complicated by redundancy and integration between systems. Employees may have network credentials sprawled across multiple directory services or local accounts. The proliferation of virtual machines and self-service deployment can make resource control even more challenging. (link to previous blog on virtual server sprawl). When a person changes roles or leaves the company how do you know that all their credentials have been remove? Do you have users lurking in a local UNIX or Linux /etc/passwd file? Do you have the necessary tools to ensure that user account authorization is synchronized and up-to-date throughout your organization?
