Overview
Centrally deploy, modify and delete UNIX/Linux
accounts.
Fast and easy UID/GID synchronization
Strengthen password composition, enforce aging
and lockouts.
Control who may login to/from which hosts, when,
by which methods (including SSH, SU,FTP,X/CDE)
and other criteria.
Detailed reports for all account and login activities.
Securely deploy and manage user accounts, passwords and login policies across heterogeneous UNIX/Linux environments, while keeping a centralized audit trail of all related activities. Symark PowerPassword, User Management Edition provides much simpler and more secure user management, compared to NIS/NIS+ or LDAP environments.
Once accounts are deployed, PowerPassword enforces highly secure password policies to secure UNIX/Linux authentication. Access via SSH, FTP, SU, or X/CDE are all controlled and audited with unsurpassed detail. Additionally, PowerPassword's login policies enforce access control to all hosts in the UNIX/Linux network who may login, to/from which host, when, and using what method (telnet, rlogin, ssh, ftp, su, etc.)
Symark Power Password, User Management Edition reduces support costs by enabling delegation of specific account management tasks. For example: Help desk staff can perform specific tasks as delegated by your UNIX/Linux administrators.
User authentication and access requests to UNIX/Linux machines are controlled by PowerPassword’s highly secure password and login policies.
User Management
Add, modify, or delete accounts securely
from a central point of management across
your UNIX/Linux network.
Controlled account deployment to each host’s
/etc/passwd, /etc/group, and /etc/shadow
Automatic UID/GID synchronization across
hosts for all new accounts
Account Templates pre-define user account
parameters and password policies and apply
to specified users or groups (e.g., new
Accounting user)
Migration of accounts from NIS/NIS+ or other
user directories
Post-Processing Scripts enable scripts to
execute after account management events
and leverage the user account data (e.g.,
after adding a user, a new database user
is then created)
"Division of Privilege" for delegating specific
account management activities to different
administrators and help desk staff by users,
groups, hosts, commands, etc.
Password Management
Strengthen password security and simplify
administration
Password aging and reset
Password encryption
Define specific character composition (such
as length, alphanumerics, case, punctuation)
Lockout accounts after specified number
of failed login attempts
Disable inactive and orphaned accounts
Automatic random generation of passwords
Password Change Agent for secure automated
root password resets via SSH.
"Similarity checking" to user name and historical
passwords
Support for cracking programs and dictionary
checking
Login Policy
Control the login environment
Who –which users and group may login
What – to which hosts
When – time, day, and date
Where – from which host, IP address, or
remote location
How – using login, rlogin, telnet, ssh,
su, xdm/cde, and define the post login properties
for user environments (working directory,
shell, etc.)
Logs and Reports for Audits and Regulatory Compliance
Logging of all account, password and login
events
Reporting capabilities for all account management
activities, password change history, accepted
and rejected login attempts, and more
Audit trail of login events includes detailed
data about each accepted and rejected login,
including which system was accessed, when,
from where, using what login method, as
well as complete environmental information
Secure and Central Operations
Client/server architecture for fault tolerant
operations
No kernel modifications / no reboots / no
conflicts
Encryption of network traffic, and stored
passwords, policies and configuration files
SMTP alerts for specified events
Integration with SSH
BlueCoat SGOS devices
Integration with PAM
Security policies are easily deployed from
central Master server
