About strongDM

strongDM is a futuristic networking tool that helps companies to manage and audit employees’ access to their database, clusters, servers and web apps in an organised manner. A network at strongDM comprises a local client, gateway and configuration layer. The local client tunnels send requests to the gateway from users’ workstations, via a single TLS 1.2 secure TCP connection. Further, to check the authentication of users who have logged into the local client, their requests are optionally redirected to SSO or their identity providers. In strongDM, the local client includes both command-line as well as graphical interfaces. The gateway feature within the same serves as the entry point of the network, which can be deployed using DNS entry. Gateways are capable of decrypting the security credentials from the end-users side and deconstruct requests for auditing purposes. Configuration layer is the place where Admin UI is present. Users can be assigned roles based on a collection of permissions across servers, clusters, databases and web apps. At last, the configuration is sent to the local client and gets updated in real-time.
