Novell NetWare NDS and eDirectory Integration
P-Synch®, a component of Hitachi ID Management Suite®, is enterprise password management software. It reduces the frequency of help desk calls, improves user productivity and strengthens security with password synchronization, self-service password reset, help desk password reset and simplified administration of other authentication factors, such as hardware tokens and biometric samples. P-Synch includes connectors to manage passwords on over 70 types of systems.
Novell NetWare / NDS Integration
P-Synch manages passwords on Novell NDS by installing the Novell IntraNetWare client on the P-Synch server. Accounts are listed from the entire tree or a sub-tree and are reset using an administrative account with credentials stored, encrypted, on the P-Synch server. The NDS agent uses the NCP protocol for all communications. Nothing is installed on NetWare / NDS servers.
Novell eDirectory Integration
P-Synch can manages passwords on Novell eDirectory LDAP directories in two ways:- By directly binding to the LDAP or LDAPS service and issuing LDAP commands to modify user objects. The LDAP bind operation itself is used to validate current passwords and LDAP search is used to enumerate users.
- By connecting to the hosting NetWare NDS server and making the updates using NCP transactions.
