ADAC
Streamline the management of multiple AD accounts for a single user within OpenText IAM.
Provisions additional AD accounts for the same IDM user when required, supporting separate test, service, or admin accounts with clear accountability.
Overview
Many organizations need users, especially IT staff and administrators, to manage more than one Active Directory account. ADAC simplifies this complexity by enabling the secure creation and management of multiple AD accounts linked to a single IDM user identity. Whether it is an admin, test, service, or robot account, ADAC provides centralized visibility and consistent governance for all associated accounts.
Built to extend the OpenText IAM platform with SPIDER, ADAC automates provisioning, ensures compliance with account naming and placement rules, and integrates seamlessly with approval workflows. It helps IT teams maintain control, minimize manual administration, and reduce risk by applying the same governance model to every AD account a user owns.
Features
ADAC uses SPIDER's 1-to-many fan-out capabilities to provision, manage, and deprovision additional AD accounts. It automates group-membership management per account, applies logical system-specific rules for account creation, and triggers notifications through integrated mail workflows. All operations follow standard IDM processes for consistency and auditability.
