I went to a seminar a couple years ago when Novell first bought Suse. They

I was wondering if that type of thing ever got moved over to Suse.

I assume it's like LDAP and you log in once and it authenticates against one
database. Would that be the same thing?


my guess is:

that you were hearing about Identity Manager ....

IDM3 is a truly fine directory management product that uses an XML
parsing engine and directory/database driver shims to provide a
foundational ability to sync directories and databases. It also has a
more and more complete development environment (called designer,
written in eclipse) and it includes the ability to create work-flow
provisioning routines.

The zero day start/stop thing is a way of saying ... a user is hired,
created 1x in whatever native tool/directory/database you choose, and
then ... automagically is provisioned in all of the other
directories/databases and throug role-based and workflow approvals, is
granted access to all of the tools he/she needs to get to work.

Cool stuff.

The engine runs on SLES or Netware or Windows. There are lots of
connectors, including NIS and LDAP of course, and AD and Edir, people
soft any flavor of SQL and flat file and AS400 and on and on.
