About Directify

Directify, formerly known as Profiler, is a web based interface for directory management which allows the authenticated end user, or another designee, the ability to update certain administrator-defined attributes. Originally designed for Active Directory, functionality will work with any LDAP directory.

How Directify works

Directify runs on a web server allowing administrators to configure the interface and end users to use it, all via web browser.

  • AES256 encryption support
  • Web enabled so you can administrate from any location using a browser
  • Single Sign On (SSO) supported
