Managing Passwords

CA Identity Manager can intercept an account's password change on a UNIX or Linux system, and propagate it to all other accounts associated with its Global User. Identity Manager Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM) lets CA Identity Manager authenticate passwords against external security systems so that global users can use their existing system passwords to log on to CA Identity Manager.

For more information, see the CA Identity Manager Administrator's Guide.
