The Resource Kit has implemented the Credential Provisioning policies to help manage passwords, instead of relying only on Password Synchronization. Credential Provisioning policies help overcome the following common issues:
Users don’t know or forget the passwords for each separate application they log into.
Users remember only the main password that is synchronized to the connected systems.
Secure passwords that are randomly generated for the connected application are randomly generated are much more secure than passwords created by users.
The Resource Kit contains a solution that:
Allows users to access their workstations and connected enterprise applications with a single login process.
Uses only the primary login directory to prompt users to change their passwords.
Never prompts users to change their password in a connected application like e-mail or HR.
Requires the user’s password to match the primary login directory’s password policy.
