RHEA-2011:1545 - Product Enhancement Advisory
Synopsis
new package: passsync
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Topic
A new passsync package is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Identity
Replication.
Description
PassSync is a Windows service that runs on every domain controller. This
intercepts clear text password updates and sends them to the directory server
running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
PassSync works together with the Windows Synchronization (WinSync) feature of
the directory server to keep passwords synchronized between Active Directory
(AD) and the directory server running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
- This enhancement update adds the passsync package to Red Hat Enterprise
Identity Replication which is an add-on for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
(BZ#690622)
Users who require password synchronization together with WinSync are advised to
install this new package.
