Did you know that the default Active Directory password policy hasn’t changed much since it was introduced in the early 2000s? Passwords framed using AD password policies can be easily exploited by hackers.
ADSelfService Plus, an integrated Active Directory self-service password management and single sign-on solution, helps implement strong password complexity rules and multi-factor authentication (MFA) for endpoints, thus ensuring improved security against common credential-based attacks. Some of the highlights of ADSelfService Plus include:
- Custom password policy enforcer: Prevent users from setting weak and breached passwords for their accounts through an advanced password policy that bans dictionary words, keyboard sequence and supports Have I Been Pwned? Integration.
- OU and group-based password policies: Create multiple password policies based on users’ privileges and assign them based on OUs and groups.
- Endpoint MFA: Add an extra layer of security to user accounts by enabling YubiKey, biometric, Google Authenticator, and other strong authentication methods for local and remote desktop logons to Windows, Linux, and Mac endpoints.
- Self-service password management: Allow users to reset passwords and unlock accounts on their own; reduces help desk tickets and improves employee productivity.
