Bi-directional password sync

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 21 Oct 2005

Q:
We have Identity Manager syncing between eDir and AD. The accounts work fine, but passwords are only going from eDir to AD, not the other way. I have checked the driver filter setup with the nspmDistributionPassword, Private Key and Public Key attributes, and they are correct.

A:
Make sure you have passwordsync agent installed on the DC where the driver is running (if it is a RL config) and add the server where the driver is actually running to the hostmachines listbox. Do this by clicking on the utility Dirxml passwordsync in the configuration panel. Then click add, and fill in the correct DNS name of the server where the driver is running.
