Centrify DirectControl effectively turns a non-Microsoft server (the XenServer in this case), workstation or device into an Active Directory client, enabling an organization to secure that system using the same authentication, access control and Group Policy services currently deployed for its Windows systems. This enables IT administrators to reliably manage access to both the XenServer platform and to the Linux and Windows virtual guests running on it. They can therefore streamline account administration and increase end-user productivity with single sign-on to XenServer virtual guests via their Active Directory credentials. In addition, any configuration file for XenServer or a configuration file deployed on a Linux virtual machine can be centrally managed using Microsoft Group Policy and the DirectControl Agent on the target system. Centrify DirectControl 4 is available now and supports Citrix XenServer 4.0.1 Express, Standard and Enterprise editions. Pricing for DirectControl for XenServer begins at $350 per XenServer, with similar pricing for Linux virtual guests.
