The following connected systems can accept passwords from Identity Manager to some degree but cannot provide a user’s actual password to Identity Manager.
Although they can’t provide the user’s actual password, they can be configured to create a password in the Identity Vault by using a policy on the Publisher channel. The password would be based on other user data in the connected system. The basic driver configurations provided for the connected systems include a default password based on the surname.
Table 3-2 Systems That Accept Passwords from Identity Manager
1GroupWise supports two authentication methods:
GroupWise provides its own authentication and maintains user passwords.
GroupWise authenticates against eDirectory by using LDAP and does not maintain passwords.
When you use this option, GroupWise ignores driver-synchronized passwords.
2The ability to set an initial password is available on all databases where the OS user account is distinct from the database user account, such as Oracle*, MS SQL, MySQL*, and Sybase*.
3The Identity Manager Driver for JDBC* can be used to modify a password on the connected system, but that feature is not demonstrated in the sample driver configuration.
4Passwords can be synchronized as data when stored in a table.
5If the target LDAP server allows setting the userpassword attribute.
6The Notes driver can accept a password modification and check passwords only for the field in Lotus Notes.
