Active Directory provides authentication services to Windows desktops and servers. Instead of maintaining a separate authentication infrastructure for the Linux environment (along with a separate set of user names and passwords), Linux and UNIX computers are now using Active Directory as well.

BeyondTrust also utilises system policies to control the behaviour of your *nix fleet, as well as blacklist and whitelist applications, and under what conditions applications may execute.
