Cloud Drive Mapping

Drive mapping is an important feature for online file access. End users can easily drag and drop files and folders from a set of mapped drives over the Internet without a VPN connection.

Global File Locking

File locking is a vital feature for online file access and team collaboration to avoid conflicts. End users need to control global concurrent online file access by using file locking to maintain consistency.

Secure Mobile Access

Have you spent many hours troubleshooting VPN connections? Have both your staff and IT support team lost productivity due to downed VPN connections? VPNs are complicated; there is a better way!

How It Works

Transitioning from traditional Active Directory (AD) to cloud-based Single Sign-On (SSO) systems modernizes IT infrastructure by enhancing security, streamlining access management, and supporting digital transformation initiatives. This approach adopts modern authentication methods, integrates seamlessly with cloud services, and simplifies the shift to a more modern IT ecosystem, eliminating the complexities associated with traditional AD.

01

Cloud Integration

Seamlessly integrates with cloud identity services like Azure AD and AWS, enabling modern authentication methods and streamlined access management.

02

SSO Authentication

Leverages Single Sign-On (SSO) for authentication, allowing users to access resources with one set of credentials, enhancing security and user experience.

03

SAML Support

Utilizes Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) for exchanging authentication and authorization data, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of cloud services.

04

Group Management

Facilitates efficient group-based access control by integrating group information within the SAML response, streamlining permissions management.

05

Automated Provisioning

Supports automated user provisioning and deprovisioning, reducing administrative overhead and enhancing operational efficiency.

06

Secure Access

Ensures secure access to cloud services and applications without the need for traditional VPNs, minimizing security vulnerabilities.

07

IT Modernization

Aligns with digital transformation objectives by enabling a shift from traditional AD to a more agile and secure cloud-based identity management system.

Frequently Asked Questions: All You Need to Know

Yes, the goal is to modernize IT by shifting from Active Directory to cloud-based single sign-on (SSO), enhancing security and streamlining access.

The Active Directory Avoidance feature allows for modern authentication methods such as single sign-on (SSO), eliminating the need for traditional Active Directory. Users can be auto-provisioned upon SSO login without the need for pre-creation in the system.

Yes, the solution has full integration with Azure AD, allowing for seamless use with your main cloud provider.

Once members log in, they don't have the group associated with it, making it very hard to manage folder permission based on the group.

The integration aims to utilize single sign-on capabilities, potentially importing existing Active Directory users initially, and then managing users and groups directly in Triofox.

Triofox can integrate with existing systems or forms through custom scripting and API calls, enabling automatic folder creation and permission assignment based on user requests.

The main purpose is to modernize authentication methods by moving away from Active Directory and towards cloud-based single sign-on solutions, enhancing security and streamlining access.

Yes, the future direction is to move away from Active Directory entirely, aiming for a complete transition by 2030 to modernized authentication methods.
