MFA & access management
IAM for Active Directory
Secure every logon and session across network and SaaS resources, without rewiring your identity stack. UserLock brings modern identity and access management (IAM) to Active Directory, adding granular multi-factor authentication (MFA), single sign-on (SSO), contextual access controls, and real-time session management.
Modern identity security for Active Directory, minus the complexity
With UserLock, enforce identity security on-premises and extend it seamlessly to the cloud. You can retain sovereignty over sensitive identity data, apply smart access controls, and support compliance beyond box-checking.
Take control of multi-factor authentication (MFA) implementation
Enable flexible, no-fuss MFA across existing AD users, groups, and organizational units (OUs). Set granular MFA policies by connection and session type to control how often users are prompted based on risk and context.
Apply MFA across all critical access paths, not just at initial logon, but throughout the session, helping prevent credential misuse and lateral movement:
Windows login
Remote Desktop (RDP, RD Gateway, RemoteApp)
IIS (OWA, RDWeb, SharePoint...)
VPN access
SaaS apps (Microsoft 365, AWS, Salesforce...)
Windows UAC prompts
Fully functional in air-gapped networks, as well as offline and off-domain scenarios.
Extend secure authentication to the cloud with single sign-on (SSO)
Pair SSO with MFA to provide secure, one-step access to Microsoft 365 and other SaaS apps after a successful on-prem Active Directory logon.
Layer security using contextual access controls
Apply access controls that stay out of the way for legitimate users and block connections that don’t match your role- and context-based conditions.
Role
Set different access controls based on AD users, groups, and organizational units (OUs).
Origin
Define access based on machine, location, IP address, and more.
Time
Limit access to working hours, set session length limits, or define logon time quotas.
Session type
Manage access across workstation, terminal, Wi-Fi, VPN, IIS, SaaS, Remote Desktop (RDP, RD Gateway, RemoteApp), and VDI sessions.
Simultaneous connections
Limit concurrent sessions and control how many initial access points (concurrent logons) to allow per user, group, or OU.
Detect threats with session management
Monitor user access and session activity in real-time, set up alerts, and take immediate action to block or restrict sessions directly from the console.
Ensure full visibility with Active Directory user login auditing
Track and record all Windows user logon events with a searchable, reliable audit across on-prem Active Directory and SaaS access, including failed or denied access attempts.
Support compliance with user and administrator activity reports
Create detailed reports on Active Directory user logon/logoff activity, MFA events, administrator actions, denied logons, and more to help meet compliance requirements and support forensics.
