Identity Synchronization for Windows

The Identity Synchronization for Windows component of Directory Server Enterprise Edition (DSEE) allows seamless integration with the Windows desktop environment.

Interoperability: Identity Synchronization for Windows provides basic synchronization of identity data between DSEE and Microsoft Active Directory.

• The synchronization of key identity data (including users, passwords, and domain global distribution and domain global security static groups) eliminates the need for users to modify passwords several times to accommodate different applications' authentication mechanisms
• The use of a non-intrusive implementation for synchronizing key identity data eliminates the time-consuming and maintenance-intensive need to install a client component on Windows Active Directory servers. This also addresses political issues related to integration of information often owned by separate groups
• Identity Synchronization for Windows enables users to change passwords and other identity data in either the Windows environment or the web-based application environment and maintain synchronization between Active Directory and the Directory Server
• Disabling of accounts can be synchronized between Active Directory and the Directory Server, which ensures conformance of access policies to applications and data between the Microsoft Windows desktops and Web-based applications
