C053. SmartFilter Authentication with Active Directory – Improve Your Reporting Detail

Presenter: Greg Kespohl, MOREnet
Track: Technology Support and Implementation

Use the powerful SmartReporter to track the Web activities of your users with your existing Active Directory schema. Using the authentication server software reports you can customize reporting for network users and groups rather than simple IP numbers. You can install the authentication server on the same machine as the SmartFilter Administration Console or on a separate machine. Join us for an hour going through the process step by step, including a demo of how it all works when you are finished. If you have an Active Directory structure and use SmartFilter currently or plan to in the future, there is no reason not to implement this transparent authentication feature. It can only make your administration of this product easier.

Presenter: Andy Hall, Mexico Public Schools

We all know how to find rogue processes on a Windows machine using SecCheck, but how do you do something similar on a Linux machine? In this session, we will discuss tools for finding rogue programs, processing and services loaded on a hacked Linux box.
