Enabling password synchronization in the IBM Security Identity Manager Server

To enable password synchronization between accounts, you must configure the IBM Security Identity Manager password synchronization feature. These steps apply to IBM Security Identity Manager versions 5.1 and 6.0.

About this task

Note: Without this step, the Password Synchronization Plug-in processes the password change. However, the IBM Security Identity Manager server does not synchronize the IBM Security Verify Access password with the passwords for other accounts.

Procedure

  1. Log in to IBM Security Identity Manager as an administrator.
  2. Select Set System Security and then the Set System Properties tab.
  3. Select the Enable Password Synchronization check box.
  4. Click OK.
