1.0 What's New

The following features are new in Novell® Modular Authentication Services (NMAS™) 3.0.

iManager plug-ins for Graded Authentication: Provides a way to manage graded authentication functionality using iManager. See Section 4.0, Using Graded Authentication.
iManager plug-ins for password policy: These are generally available.
LDAP case-sensitive passwords: See the eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide.
Security container caching: Security container data is now cached onto the local server. This feature eliminates the problem of slow authentication when the server housing the security container is not available. See the Miscellaneous chapter of the eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide for more information.
Additional DSTRACE information: When you run DSTRACE, NMAS returns more information for troubleshooting purposes. See Section 6.2, Using DSTRACE.
Auditing using NSure® Audit: You can now audit NMAS events using Nsure Audit. See Section 6.5, Auditing NMAS Events Using Nsure Audit.
GSSAPI SASL mechanism: Allows you to authenticate to eDirectory using a Kerberos* ticket. See the eDirectory 8.8 Administration Guide.
