PASSYNC
Password Synchronizer
Synchronizes passwords across all systems to which the user has valid remote-password access.
Overview
PASSYNC allows synchronizing user passwords on Tandem (NSK) systems running EXPAND. It exceeds the functions of the established PASSWORD program by adding the ability to automatically change a user’s password on all the systems the user has remote passwords configured on.
The following user attributes must exist:
- The user ID and corresponding user name must be exactly the same on all remote systems (for example, 100,5; GHS.CARL; GreenHouse)
- The user must have a remote password configured on the system
Features

- Crosses phantom node boundaries (NOPASSTHROUGH nodes)
- Configuration is done through an EDIT type file
- Can be combined with the Password Quality product PWQASEEP
