Key features of Fudo 5.1

Cluster Password Changers

Features - Supports password changes in a cluster configuration. The feature extends the capabilities of the Fudo password management system to support complex installations running in active/active cluster mode. Fudo allows you to change passwords separately for each cluster node in each network zone, making the system more stable within multi-node configurations.

Now the administrator can start a password change on all nodes at once or select individual nodes in the cluster. This ensures continuity of access to servers in the event of a node failure and implementation of static load balancing scenarios.

Certificate-based authentication scheme

Features: An optional method of authenticating users on the Fudo web portal. Users can now log into their office on the Fudo web portal using certificates without revealing their account information and avoiding the potential threat of insiders. As part of the password-free scheme used, authentication takes place without user involvement (or with minimal participation), which is especially important in AD-based environments. Because certificates are deployed within common enterprise policies, it instantly enhances the security of the entire system.

Web Portal Activity Accounting

Features - Users can now see who is already connected to a shared account. Allows you to visually manage shared accounts. Users can easily determine that an account is being used by someone else, which is critical in shared account environments. Visual prompts about account usage provide more effective user interaction and control over current sessions within the access gateway.

Enhanced GUI

Capabilities: Improve usability and intuitive understanding of the interface. Extensive customization of user panels / Dashboards. Added a "+" button to quickly add new items. Improvements also affected the user web portal and the Fudo administration console.

Also added to the interface is the ability to select pre-built topics, such as "light," "dark" and "terminal."

Fudo Security's PAM solution generally provides an easy way to connect remote users to servers, applications, and systems. Fudo PAM also detects suspicious activity of employees or hackers using stolen accounts. data
