What to use for intitial Password if Distribution Password not Present |
If the system is not set up for universal password synchronization or the user account just doesnt have a distribution password set yet, then an initial password has to be set. This GCV tells the system whether to use an attribute off of the user account for an initial password or to use a random generated password. If the accounts are going to use SAML for authentication then a Random Password would be fine. Otherwise an attribute value should be selected. |
or NOTE:The attribute name must be specified in eDirectory namespace. The Banner attribute which contains the password value needs to be mapped to the eDirectory attribute name. The attribute should be marked as Notify in the driver filter to prevent the password value from being written to eDirectory. |
