Feature
Administrator Management with AD/LDAP
The Administrator management using AD/LDAP is now generally available (GA).
With this functionality, the integration with AD/LDAP Connectors and AD Accounts is centralized to manage Druva administrators efficiently by the DCP administrators.
The Administrator management feature uses your existing Active Directory (AD) or Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) integration and simplifies managing Druva administrators within the Druva Cloud Platform (DCP).
Benefits:
Simplified Administrator Management: Organizations using AD/LDAP for user management can now effortlessly manage Druva administrators as well.
Improved Efficiency: Leverage your existing AD/LDAP integration for centralized administration of Druva users and administrators.
What's New?
New AD/LDAP Connector: A new version of the AD/LDAP Connector is included to support Administrator Management functionality.
Updated Settings Location: Previously, AD/LDAP Connector and Account settings resided in the "End Points and SaaS Apps Settings" page. These settings have been relocated to the "Druva Cloud Settings" section within the DCP console.Upgraded Administrator Permissions: Upgrading of AD/LDAP Connectors is now an exclusive privilege of Druva Cloud Administrators.
Action Required: Upgrade all existing AD/LDAP Connectors to the new version. This upgrade is necessary to grant the required permissions to inSync and DCP administrators to modify mappings and configurations.
❗ Important
Existing AD mappings created for user management will continue to function. However, to allow inSync & DCP Administrators to modify mappings and related configurations, DCP Administrators must upgrade all existing AD/LDAP connectors.
For more information, see, Upgrade AD/LDAP Connectors.
Introducing Inactive Administrator Policy for administrator account management
We have introduced the Inactive Administrator Policy designed to enhance administrator account management.
Key highlights:
Druva Cloud Administrators can now set a specific inactivity period for administrator accounts.
Administrator accounts that remain inactive beyond the defined period will be automatically disabled.
This feature helps ensure that only active administrators have access to the Druva environment, effectively managing the lifecycle of administrator accounts and minimizing exposure to potential attacks.
For more information, see Configure Inactive Administrator Policy.
