RE: [ActiveDir] Synching NDS and AD

[Fuller, Stuart]

Title: Synching NDS and AD

Nsure Identity Manager = "Metadirectory" for all disparate NDS (Edir) and AD directories.

 

We are/have been looking at this question, and yes you can do a simple synch between Novell and AD with this product.  *BUT* in our case the OU structures between to the two directories are so disparate that a direct sync is relatively impossible.  If we end up going with this solution, we will have to project both directories to a third directory that we will write the sync rules for.  This ends up being a Metadirectory.  

 

*If* your OU structure, account ID's, etc... are fairly or exactly the same, then you can do a direct sync and end up with something "...not the size of an Identity Management Tool like MIIS". If you want a full blown Metadirectory then Novell's Nsure Indentity management is in the same category of directory products as MIIS.

Hi,

Does anyone know of a product that can acchieve the following:
* Synching NDS and AD
* 2-way synching
* Automated synching
* Possibility to assign a directory for the first sync
* Synching of user accounts, groups and passwords (although I wonder if the latter is possible because different mechanisms are used for storing pwds)

* Not the size of an Identity Management tool like MIIS

Could MS Services for Netware play a role in this?

Cheers
