Pardon me for asking, but do you work for Centrify, or are you just a big fan of their products? Thanks for the information, Jake.

Some of the things we like about it that I believe is unique to the Centrify solution is Mac support (including group policies for Mac), their Zoning technology that provides granular levels of access control, and it is much easier to license in terms of deploying license keys (centralized vs. on a machine-by-machine basis) and not having to pay for users -- it licenses on a per system basis. thanks, jake Centrify is clearly not a packaging of open source solutions, it is in effect an “Active Directory client” for UNIX.

My own personal opinion of the VAS product, thus far, is that they have (by and large) simply packaged existing open source solutions together with some handy command line tools. I could be way off there; I'll certainly be the first to admit that. What's your experience with the Centrify products? Jake,
