1.1 What’s New
1.1.1 Driver Features
- You can use the Identity Manager PassSync
Utility to individually configure password filters on the Primary
Domain Controller (PDC) or on any Backup Domain (BDC) controller
that could become the primary domain controller. This means you
don’t have to allow remote access to the registry. See Section 5.5.1, Separately Configuring Password Filters
on Each Domain Controller.
- A parameter is provided for Password Expiration
Time, and the driver and password filter are now enhanced to retry
passwords only after a successful user add or modify is received.
See Section 4.1.3, Password Expiration Time.
- The sample driver configuration uses flexible prompting,
to reduce complexity when importing the configuration. If you choose
to install the driver for use with the Remote Loader, or if you choose
to use Role-Based Entitlements, an additional page is displayed
in the wizard where you provide information for those features.
- You can now query for two additional classes: GlobalGroup
and LocalGroup. Although you can’t synchronize them on
the Subscriber or Publisher channel, you can use the querying feature
to synchronize them in an indirect way, so that the driver can use
the MemberOf attribute on a user to put the user in a corresponding
group in eDirectory™. See Section 4.2.6, Querying GlobalGroup or LocalGroup.
- Identity Manager Password Synchronization is supported
in the sample driver configuration. The password synchronization
features include the following:
- A Novell Client™ no longer needs to
be installed on a Windows machine.
- You can implement bidirectional password synchronization
between NT Domain and other connected systems.
For more information, see Section 5.0, Password Synchronization.
- Role-Based Entitlements is supported as an option
in the sample driver configuration.
Using Role-Based Entitlements is a design decision. Choose
this option after you have reviewed Creating
and Using Entitlements
in the Novell
Identity Manager 3.0.1 Administration Guide.
- The driver can be configured to send a driver heartbeat.
