Architecture
Adaxes is a standalone software solution that acts as a proxy between users and Active Directory, Exchange and Office 365. Since native tools are still in place, you can come back to them at any point and have direct access to your environment the same way as before.
All the Adaxes magic, such as automation rules, approval-based workflows, role-based permissions, data standards enforcements, etc. is only applied when executing operations through Adaxes. Any of your existing scenarios or integrations, like HR or payroll systems, that directly interact with AD, Exchange or Office 365 won’t be affected and can co-exist with Adaxes.
No Active Directory Pollution
Adaxes does not pollute your Active Directory in any way. It doesn’t store any of its data in AD, doesn’t change native permissions and doesn’t extend the Active Directory schema.
Extensibility
Adaxes doesn’t limit you to just what’s provided out-of-the-box. It allows you to easily extend and customize its built-in functionality to exactly match the specific needs of your organization.
You can easily add your own scripts to automated workflows and actions or develop your own custom clients for Adaxes. For more details see the Adaxes SDK.
