NAM 3.0 A cross-platform account management system –Management of user accounts in heterogeneous platform environments –Based on Novell eDirectory™ –Provides both central and distributed user account management –Facilitates user authentication across platforms with a single user ID and password
22
Account Management 3.0 Facts - A new product. Not based on Account Management 2.1. - Aimed at enterprise-level engagements. - Based on a new paradigm. - Considers goals and strengths of both central IS and platform Administrators. - - Not named “Account Manager”!
23
Two Problems To Solve User Account Provisioning – How to automate the process of grants, management and revoking the right accounts to the right systems at the right time, and giving the administrators of those systems ultimate control over the provisioning process on their respective systems? Password Management – How do you provide a mechanism where the user has the same password for all systems, no matter how he attaches to or uses those systems?
24
One Product solves both problems Novell’s Account Management Solution solves both the Account Management and Password Management problems for a wide variety of Operating Systems. builds on the scalability of eDirectory, the cross-platform history of prior versions of Account Management and NDS Authentication Services, the extensibility of DirXML

Identities in hard-to-reach places Most users have too many IDs and passwords to remember
36
Remembering Passwords Difficult, so people write them down Forgotten passwords result in –User and Admin frustration –Help desk calls –Compromised security
37
Storing passwords Secure storage of user credentials (login names, passwords) Allow admins to reset but not see passwords Sync to desktop/laptop Directory-based policies for password strength
