Integration with Active Roles

The Defender installation package includes the Defender Integration Pack for Active Roles which extends the Active Roles functionality and allows you to perform Defender-related tasks from within the Active Roles console (MMC Interface) and the Active Roles Web Interface. For example, with this Integration Pack installed, you can assign, remove, test, recover, and program tokens, set Defender IDs and Defender passwords. Also you can enable the automatic deletion of tokens for deprovisioned users and use the Active Roles console to administer Defender objects and delegate specific Defender roles or tasks to the users you want.
Active Roles offers a practical approach to automated user provisioning and administration, for maximum security and efficiency. Active Roles provides total control of user provisioning and administration for Active Directory. For more information about Active Roles, please go to quest.com/products/activeroles-server.
