Managing Passwords

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