Cloud-Based Active Directory Integration

Authentication is accomplished using digital certificates on each workstation and each premised based server. Therefore, no passwords are used nor transferred across the internet. Once the certificate authentication has taken place, the users email address is encrypted and sent to the Desktop Alert hosted system to identify the user. It is important to note that no other user information is part of the communication process. In concept, authentication across the internet with certificate technology is actually more secure then standard LDAP/Directory integration behind the firewall. This hosted system can be used as the primary alerting system for any organization (multiple domain integration functionality) or as a formidable redundancy system in case of failure with a premised based systems network. If an organizations server failed to deliver the alerts for any reason, the secure redundant hosted solution would kick into gear and do the job instantly without administrative assistance. The hosted solution would continue to act as the primary server until premised based network operations were resumed.
