The compatibility of ALD Pro and the Printum print monitoring and management system has been confirmed. Astra Group announced this on July 9, 2024. The software stack is suitable for enterprises of any scale and allows, while maintaining the usual convenience and quality of printing, to organize the safe and efficient use of printers and MFPs, as well as optimize the cost of their maintenance.

During testing, experts were convinced that the products work together correctly, and their functionality is fully available to users. The results of successful inspections officially confirm the certificate issued as part of the Ready for Astra IT vendors' technological cooperation program.

The Printum multivendor system allows organizations of all sizes to establish safe and efficient work with printers and MFPs. With its help, you can collect statistics on individual employees and entire departments, maintain an archive of documents and set up authorization by card or PIN code. To audit printing, collect data from meters, track the technical condition of equipment and generate reports, a tool is provided such as managing the relationship between the customer and the contractor and automating the main functions. In addition, the use of Printum allows you to optimize the fleet of printers and MFPs, which, according to the manufacturer, significantly reduces the cost of consumables and saves the time of specialized specialists.

During the implementation of import substitution projects at enterprises, it is important to maintain the usual level of convenience in working with the most popular services (such as printing) without increasing the cost of infrastructure management and equipment maintenance. A significant step in achieving this goal is the integration of the leading ALD Pro catalog service with the Printum print monitoring and management system. Using these products in one bundle, customers will have the opportunity to organize an integrated approach to print management, combining simplicity, efficiency and resource savings.

The Printum server, which uses IPP, eliminates the need to install specialized drivers. The client application automatically adds printers to workstations, taking into account the structural units and ALD Pro groups to which users belong. The agent part can be installed and configured centrally through ALD Pro group policies. Creating rules for specific groups of employees that prevent large documents from being printed on less productive devices allows jobs to be directed to more efficient printers in printers, improving overall performance and reducing printing costs.

ALD Pro 2.3.0 with Upgraded Inter-Domain Mechanisms

Astra Group announced the release of an updated version of the system for centralized IT infrastructure management - ALD Pro 2.3.0. The release includes improved mechanisms for interaction between domains and a number of significant improvements and innovations made on the basis of feedback from partners, customers, Group specialists and internal developer service.

Among the key changes in ALD Pro 2.3.0 are the implementation of one-way (outgoing) and two-way trust relationships between ALD Pro domains. This feature will significantly improve the security of the IT infrastructure and reduce the technical requirements for server equipment. The protection of the information system has been strengthened due to the fact that hashes of user passwords now do not leave the perimeter of the domain and each domain can be placed under the control of an independent team of IT specialists.

The reduction in RAM requirements is manifested in the ability to divide a large infrastructure into several directories, each of which will have significantly fewer objects, and controllers will need to cache significantly less data in memory.

With the upgrade to the specified version, it will be possible to configure one-way and two-way trust relationships between ALD Pro domains, obtain information about users of the trusted domain with the id command and add them to external (external) groups to grant HBAC and SUDO configuration rights, log into the operating system from a trusted domain and access its shared folders using Kerberos authentication, and enter the management portal under trusted domain accounts.

Other improvements and fixes affected components such as group policies, global catalog, synchronization module, etc. Optimized global catalog synchronization management, developed an aldproctl tool to check the availability of system services and provided the ability to enter workstations based on OCAstra Linux 1.7.5 into the domain. Updated supporting documentation including reference center, ALD Pro manual, test program and methodology.

File:Aquote1.png
We are confident that the catalog service is a mandatory component of the IT infrastructure of any enterprise, so we are continuously improving our solution taking into account the feedback from our users. In 2024, we will focus our efforts on three main areas: improving product reliability, simplifying system operation in productive environments and facilitating migration, including the development of hybrid scenarios. As a result, this version will be released with the most popular and strong characteristics and will help to successfully solve operational problems in terms of centralized management of domain objects, "said Evgeny Pautov, Director of the Astra Group Management Tools Development Department.

ALD Pro 2.2.0 with optimized user interface

Astra Group on February 5, 2024 announced the release of an updated version of the system for centralized domain management ALD Pro 2.2.0 - a universal solution focused on large corporations, medium and small businesses.

One of the main changes to ALD Pro 2.2.0 is improved transport for obtaining and applying policy settings - group and software, as well as event collection rules. This significantly reduces the load on domain controllers and helps simplify the use of the ALD Pro system for customers with a large fleet of user PCs.

The approach to ALD Pro repositories and dependency packages has also changed. The concept of interacting OS with Astra repositories Linux when installing ALD Pro has been redesigned. Now connecting the base and extended repositories of Astra Linux is not a prerequisite for deploying the product. The required minimum is the main and repository-update repository of Astra Linux. This helps improve the installation process and minimizes the risk of receiving and updating packages.

An important addition was the isolation of backend Python applications that now run in a separate virtual environment. They are responsible for handling user requests, managing data, and executing security policies. Isolating them increases system stability and simplifies dependency management.

Improved user interface. Changes have been made to UX/UI, including the reworking of the Bread Crumbs element (link chains at the top of the interface). Added the ability to reset the user password through the ALD Pro interface. Significantly updated user documentation - both the Help Center and the Administrator's Guide. The information was completely revised in accordance with the wishes of system administrators, which the ALD Pro team has received since the first releases.

When upgrading from previous versions of ALD Pro, the developers strongly recommend following the Administrator's Guide.

{{quote 'We are pleased to present to our customers and partners ALD Pro 2.2.0 - a solution that not only improves the efficiency and security of IT infrastructure, but also supports strategic import substitution and digital independence initiatives.

ALD Pro 2.1.0

On August 16, 2023, Astra Group of Companies, a Russian software developer, announced the release of an updated version of the system for managing the directory service - ALD Pro 2.1.0.

ALD Pro 2.1.0

According to the company, ALD Pro is a tool that allows you to build a domain for the Linux infrastructure and, through group policies, centrally manage the parameters of domain objects: computers, servers and users. The decision is entered in the "Register of Russian Software" under the number 12159.

One of the key challenges when migrating infrastructures to import-independent solutions is to ensure that the implemented products work correctly in conjunction with legacy software and services from Microsoft during the transition period. Another important task is to avoid the high costs of administering two different solutions.

These questions are facing all organizations that are switching to domestic software, and it was these user needs that formed the basis for the release of ALD Pro 2.1.0. The solution received the following functionality: bilateral trust relationships and data synchronization with MS AD. To do this, the developers implemented a global catalog and a data synchronization module between Microsoft Active Directory (MS AD) and ALD Pro domains.

These capabilities will allow administrators to build a complete heterogeneous infrastructure for a transition period and reduce risks when migrating domain data. Now you can:

  • Connect from Linux desktops from the ALD Pro domain to services and network resources (web server, file server, database, etc.), including printers in the MS AD domain.
  • Synchronize individual user accounts and user groups from MS AD domains with the ALD Pro-based global catalog.

File:Aquote1.png
In the updated version of the system, we implemented the mechanism of bilateral trust relations between Microsoft Active Directory and ALD Pro. These capabilities, which were not previously in the Linux market, will allow our customers to work in a hybrid domain environment, use common equipment and network resources. It became possible to gradually transfer the IT infrastructure to domestic solutions, since for a transition period all domain users will be able to continue working with existing services. This will reduce the labor costs of administrators and optimize the quality of the entire import substitution process.

noted Evgeny Pautov, Director of the Management Tools Development Department of Astra Group of Companies
File:Aquote2.png

Additionally, in ALD Pro 2.1.0, users will receive a number of changes related to information security, domain management, access rights, as well as system updates and system documentation.

{{quote 'author
