Complete the following tasks to set up password synchronization between the Identity Vault and a connected system. Repeat the tasks for each connected system with which you want to synchronize passwords.
Verify that the driver supports password synchronization. For a list of supported drivers, see Section 3.0, Connected System Support for Password Synchronization.
Make sure the driver is already installed and works with the connected system (except for password synchronization). For instructions, refer to the driver’s Implementation Guide on the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Drivers documentation site.
(Conditional) If you are using the Active Directory driver, install the password filters required to synchronize passwords. For instructions, see Setting Up Password Synchronization Filters
in the Identity Manager 4.0 Driver for Active Directory Implementation Guide.
(Conditional) If you are using the Linux and UNIX driver, install the password filters required to synchronize passwords. For instructions, see “Installing the PAM or LAM Module” in the Identity Manager 4.0.1 Driver for Linux and UNIX Implementation Guide.
Create a password policy that defines your business criteria for creating and replacing passwords. Assign the policy to the Identity Vault containers that hold the users to whom you want the policy applied. You can have more than one password policy if needed. For instructions, see “Managing Passwords by Using Password Policies” in the Novell Password Management 3.2 Administration Guide.
Make sure the driver’s password synchronization settings support the correct flow of passwords between the Identity Vault and the connected system. For instructions, see Section 4.0, Configuring Password Flow.
Set up e-mail notification so that users receive messages if their passwords are not successfully synchronized. For instructions, see Section 5.0, Configuring E-Mail Notification.
