FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MyWorkDrive Unveils Production Release of MyWorkDrive Server 7 with Entra ID Native Authentication and Azure Storage Integration
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 6, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- MyWorkDrive, a leading provider of secure remote file share access software, is thrilled to announce the production release of MyWorkDrive Server 7. This major update introduces seamless integration with Entra ID for native authentication without Active Directory or SAML, along with support for Azure file shares and Blob Storage via API over https.
Key Features of MyWorkDrive Server 7
-- Entra ID (Azure AD) Identity Authentication: MyWorkDrive Server 7 now
supports Entra ID as the identity provider, offering an alternative to
traditional Active Directory. This feature allows organizations to
leverage Entra ID secure, modern authentication methods. For more
information, refer to our Entra ID Identity Guide.
-- API Connections to Azure Storage with Entra ID identity: MyWorkDrive now
supports API connections to Azure Storage (including Azure Files and
Azure Blob) as an alternative to SMB. This update improves performance
by reducing latency commonly associated with SMB connections to Azure
Files and eliminates the need for the SMB protocol which greatly
improves speed and access without the need for port 445. For detailed
comparisons and configuration options, see our Azure Storage article.
Advantages of MyWorkDrive Server 7
-- Elimination of Active Directory Dependency: Simplifying the
infrastructure for customers using Entra ID.
-- Improved Performance: Access to Azure Storage via API reduces latency,
enhancing performance, even for lower-tier storage options.
-- Improved Access: SMB Port 445 is typically blocked by ISP's and is not
needed when accessing files with MyWorkDrive over https.
-- Managed Identity Support: Managed Identity is supported for Azure-hosted
servers, enabling access to storage accounts without storing credentials
on the server.
-- Entra ID Support: Permissions can be defined using Entra ID users and
groups, providing more control without relying on NTFS permissions or
storage keys.
-- Public Sharing: Various public sharing methods are supported, with
certain limitations for Azure Blob and Azure File Share when using Entra
ID without managed identity.
With the introduction of MyWorkDrive Version 7, enterprises can now securely access Azure Storage using Entra ID credentials with our Mapped Drive, Mobile or Web Browser clients from anywhere.
