Business challenges

Operating in a hybrid IT environment with on-premises Active Directory integrated with Azure AD, Dryden Mutual needed a secure and seamless way to enable password resets for remote users. Ensuring secure authentication while maintaining ease of use for employees was critical, especially as more users worked outside the corporate network. The IT team also wanted to reduce dependency on help desk support for routine password-related issues.

"Our environment is hybrid, and enabling secure remote password resets was a key requirement for us."

Daniel Webb, IT infrastructure support specialist at Dryden Mutual

The problem

Before implementing ADSelfService Plus, remote users often relied on IT support for password resets and account unlocks, which increased support workload and slowed down productivity. The organization needed a solution that could deliver both strong security and a seamless user experience.

The outcome

Dryden Mutual implemented ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus to streamline password management in its hybrid environment. The solution enabled secure self-service password resets and account unlocks for remote users without requiring direct access to the internal network.

"With ADSelfService Plus, we were able to implement a solution that is both secure and easy for users to adopt."

Daniel Webb, IT infrastructure support specialist at Dryden Mutual

With multi-factor authentication in place, the organization strengthened its security posture while aligning with a Zero Trust approach. Employees quickly adopted the solution due to its simplicity and ease of use. The deployment was supported by Implementation Manager Sreejith, who ensured a smooth and efficient setup.

"The implementation experience was excellent. He knew the product inside out and helped us configure everything quickly. It was well worth the investment."

Daniel Webb, IT infrastructure support specialist at Dryden Mutual

By implementing ADSelfService Plus, Dryden Mutual enabled employees to securely reset passwords and unlock accounts without IT intervention. The solution provided a simple and reliable user experience while strengthening security through multi-factor authentication. As a result, the organization significantly reduced help desk workload and improved operational efficiency.
