Calgary's PASSPORTAL Integrates Microsoft Active Directory to Improve Password Management

Keeping track of passwords can challenge even the most organized MSP. And ensuring the security of each client's list of passwords is a must for any MSP that wants to keep existing clients and attract new ones.  

Calgary, AB May 30, 2012 - One of the more demanding aspects of an MSP's job is

 earning the trust of clients and prospects.  Each MSP owner must ensure not only their ability to protect each client's network from external threats like hackers, but also from internal threats like human error and unscrupulousness.  By integrating Microsoft's Active Directory into its current product offering, PASSPORTAL has managed to up the ante on password safety and security for its MSP clients.  

  

PASSPORTAL software allows MSPs to manage clients' passwords and audit which MSP techs have accessed each client's passwords.  With this Active Directory integration MSPs can save themselves time while minimizing risk and client impact.   

  

With PASSPORTAL, MSPs can ensure the accuracy of their clients' passwords by comparing the passwords listed in PASSPORTAL with those in Active Directory. Clients are notified whenever passwords or usernames don't match and in the event of communication errors.  Password changes made in PASSPORTAL can automatically be updated in Active Directory, so there's no need to for technicians to enter it twice.  

  

As for security, MSPs can limit what each technician has access to. And if a technician should quit or get fired, the MSP can have PASSPORTAL automatically reset the Active Directory passwords which the technician had seen and then notify the relevant parties of the change. This extra level of security lets clients and prospects know that their MSPs are serious about protecting clients from all possible threats.  

  

"The integration of PASSPORTAL with Active Directory will really make life easier for MSPs and their clients," said PASSPORTAL CEO Colin Knox. "We are very excited to be able to offer this new feature." 

  

The newly integrated PASSPORTAL/Active Directory will launch on Jun. 4, 2012.
