Summary

Centrify provides unified identity management solutions that enable single sign-on for users and simplify the identity infrastructure for IT. MongoDB Enterprise 2.4 or greater can be integrated with Active Directory using LDAP and Kerberos protocols, simplifying setup and allowing seamless integration into complex environments. The use of Centrify's Active Directory integration with MongoDB greatly simplifies the setup process and allows for easy automation of tasks such as creating service users and keytabs. By leveraging Centrify's PAM module, MongoDB can authenticate LDAP users using SASLauthd, while Kerberos authentication enables secure authentication using GSSAPI mechanisms. This integration enables enterprise deployments of MongoDB to be accelerated, reducing the need for manual configuration and labor-intensive processes.
