Overview

Overview

Identity Manager helps you manage user passwords across multiple accounts. You can synchronize

passwords among systems, allow users to change their passwords, and enable users to recover from

forgotten passwords.

In the following diagram, the Identity Manager system is configured to synchronize passwords for

users who have Active Directory* and iPlanet* accounts. In addition, password self-service is

enabled through the Identity Manager User Application so that users can change their passwords

and, if necessary, recover from forgotten passwords.

Figure 1-1 Password Management with Identity Manager

Identity Manager provides synchronization of passwords between the Identity Vault and connected

systems. It also supports password self-service, which is the ability for users to change their own

passwords and recover from forgotten passwords.

The following sections introduce you to the concepts you need to understand to successfully

implement password synchronization and password self-service:

1.1 Universal Password and Distribution

Password

Identity Manager requires Universal Password for both password synchronization and password

self-service. Universal Password synchronizes the various passwords (Universal, NDS®, Simple,

and Distribution) stored in the Identity Vault and provides password policies that define the rules for

creating and replacing passwords in the Identity Vault.

Universal Password is explained in detail in the Novell Password Management 3.2 Administration

Guide (http://www.novell.com/documentation/password_management32).

To control password synchronization between the Identity Vault and connected systems, Identity

Manager uses the Distribution password. When a password is received from a connected system, it

is stored as the Distribution password. When a password is sent to a connected system, the

Distribution password is sent.

You can choose to synchronize the Distribution and Universal passwords or not synchronize them. If

you synchronize the passwords, your Identity Vault passwords and connected system passwords will

be the same. If you don’t synchronize the passwords, your Identity Vault passwords will be different

than your connected system passwords; in essence, you are “tunneling” passwords among connected

systems without affecting the passwords (Universal, NDS, or Simple) in your Identity Vault.

1.2 Password Synchronization Flow

Identity Manager supports the following levels of password synchronization:

Bidirectional: Identity Manager accepts passwords from a connected system and distributes

passwords to the connected system. Users can change their passwords in the connected system

or in the Identity Vault.

Some connected systems can’t provide the user’s actual password, which means they don’t

support full bidirectional password synchronization. However, they can provide data (first

name, last name, and so forth) that the connected system’s driver policies use to create an initial

password. After the initial password is created from connected system data, no more password

information is sent from the connected system. Passwords flow only from the Identity Vault to

the connected system.

To the connected system: Identity Manager distributes passwords from the Identity Vault to

the connected system only.

To the Identity Vault: Identity Manager distributes passwords from the connected system to

the Identity Vault only.
