NoMAD: Leave Directory Services in the Dust

Speakers: Joel Rennich

Level: Fundamental, Lecture

Excerpt: This session will cover how to use NoMAD, the open source tool for interacting with AD and other directory services, to make your existing environment better and remove the need for binding to directory service at all. In addition, Joel will show off how NoMAD will soon be able to interact with other SAML-based directory solutions, smart card authentication, and our newest product NoMAD Helper.

NoMAD Helper allows you to configure users, admins and even authentication mechanisms for users over MDM with no directory service involvement. Scope users to machines by adding that machine to a configuration policy in your favorite MDM management tool. Allow your users to elevate themselves to admins without involving someone from the Help Desk. NoMAD Helper will even allow you to fully provision local accounts on DEP systems in a programmatic fashion. And when you don’t want the account on the machine anymore all you have to do is remove the configuration profile.
