Centrify Integrates With SAP NetWeaver

Centrify has announced that the SAP Integration and Certification Center (SAP ICC) has certified Centrify Server Suite 2016 for the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. The solution has been proven to integrate with SAP NetWeaver, providing secure operation of SAP applications from infrastructure to endpoint.

With the certification, Centrify provides the market with a true path to secure their SAP infrastructure and software environments across endpoints, data centers and applications, for both end users and privileged users.

The tight integration between Centrify Server Suite and SAP NetWeaver infrastructure helps to better secure the enterprise and protect critical information. And thanks to Centrify’s platform solutions, IT and helpdesk personnel can now use a single administrative tool—Microsoft Active Directory—to define consistent security policies to control access to the family of SAP applications running on SAP NetWeaver, the SAP HANA® platform, SAP Fiori® user experience and public cloud apps.

By leveraging existing investments in Microsoft Active Directory, Centrify customers can integrate SAP applications and Microsoft Active Directory, resulting in secure single sign-on and centralized identity management. The integration also provides enhanced security for SAP applications on UNIX and Linux, as well as single sign-on for the SAP graphical user interface and browser.

“We are excited to support customers running SAP software in the areas of cloud, on-premises and mobile security,” said Lee Godby, director of business development at Centrify. “We are seeing significant momentum with SAP software in the enterprise and are proud to deliver an industry-leading, comprehensive solution that extends beyond single sign-on to address identity requirements across data centers, managed applications and mobile endpoints.”
