Below you will find a more detailed description of some of our services.

Titus Services for Microsoft Active Directory

As a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, we can help you make the right design and migration decisions when you decide to upgrade from Windows NT 4.0 to Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003.

We also partner with Microsoft to deliver the Microsoft Consulting Services "Planning for Windows 2000/2003" Quickstart.  See the Microsoft web site for more information on the Microsoft Quickstarts...

Titus Integration Services for X.500 and Microsoft Active Directory

Titus integration services for X.500 and Microsoft Active Directory help your organization quickly migrate, or integrate existing X.500 directories with Microsoft Active Directory. Once implemented, Active Directory allows organizations to centrally manage and share information on network resources and users while acting as the central authority for network security.

Active Directory represents a radical departure from how X.500 directory services are provided. Because of these differences, many organizations will have to overcome a large planning and education obstacle before designing an Active Directory implementation. In addition, planning for migration or coexistence with X.500 can be a difficult task without prior Active Directory experience.

Titus's comprehensive integration and coexistence services are designed to enable a quick assessment, a careful design and provide rapid implementation along with the appropriate amount of information to consider next steps. By partnering with Titus, we can help you throughout your move to Microsoft Active Directory. Titus's wealth of customer experience with X.500 and status as one of the few Microsoft Authorized Metadirectory Services Partners allow us to anticipate, understand, and address your specific needs. Some of the services Titus can perform include:

  • Document and assess the X.500 and legacy directory configurations
  • Comprehensive Active Directory architecture design
  • Install and configure Microsoft Active Directory
  • Assist with Active Directory Forest design
  • Migration / coexistence plan for X.500 schema
  • Use of Microsoft Metadirectory Services to automate the migration and synchronization of information from your X.500 system to Active Directory
  • Provide guidance on setting up authentication and security for the new Active Directory environment

Entrust / Active Directory Integration

Titus integration services for Entrust, X.500 and Microsoft Active Directory help your organization quickly integrate the strengths of Microsoft Active Directory with an Entrust public key infrastructure. In early 2001, Entrust Inc. announced support for Microsoft Active Directory in the Entrust/PKI V6.0 product. Little information exists today on how to integrate the Entrust and Microsoft Active Directory environments. Titus combines professional services, training, and proven migration tools to help your organization transition to this strategic environment. Titus integration services for Entrust and Microsoft Active Directory are based on hands on experience deploying these technologies for Enterprise customers. We help you by:

Configuring Active Directory

  • Configuring the schema for an Entrust PKI

Configuring Authentication to the directory

  • Configuring clients to authenticate to the directory

Integrating with Microsoft applications

  • Configuring Entrust Authority to support integrating with Microsoft CrytoAPI applications
  • Configuring clients to use Entrust certificates in Microsoft applications

Configuring interoperation with other directories

  • Replication of data between sites

Cross certification with Certificate Authorities using other directories

  • Configure Entrust to cross certify with other CAs using Active Directory or other LDAP directories

Migration from existing X.500 directory infrastructures to one based on Active Directory

  • Using Titus developed tools to speed the migration to Active Directory.

Benefits

There are several benefits of integrating your Entrust PKI with the Microsoft Active Directory:

  • Consolidation of all enterprise metadata in a central Active Directory store.
  • No longer need to maintain multiple directories for different applications.
  • No need for specialized X.500 skills and training.
  • Once Active Directory is integrated with the Entrust PKI, you can more easily take advantage of the integration of other aspects of the Microsoft and Entrust infrastructures such as single sign on, smart cards, encrypted file system etc.
  • You can begin to use the native Microsoft applications such as Outlook using Entrust certificates
  • Services are performed by professionals who have hands on experience with both the Microsoft and Entrust infrastructure products.
