Extending and Enhancing Sudo with Quest One Privilege Manager for Sudo

Most organizations that have Unix/Linux machines in their infrastructure use the open-source sudo project to help delegate and manage the Unix root account. However, sudo does not include the ability to centrally manage the sudoers policy file across multiple systems, making effective privileged account management cumbersome.

Privilege Manager for Sudo (a component of Quest One Identity Solutions) includes a plug-in to sudo that makes administering sudo across a few or many Unix/Linux servers easy, intuitive, and consistent. This technical brief explains the solution’s key features and benefits.
