The Novell® Identity Manager 3.6.1 Fan-Out Driver is an identity provisioning solution, based on Novell eDirectory™, Identity Manager, and related technology.
With Identity Manager, you can manage the full user life cycle, delivering first-day access to essential resources, providing single login, and modifying or revoking access rights. Identity Manager also provides self-service features that enable users to maintain their own passwords and profile information.
By adding the Fan-Out Driver, you can use Identity Manager to fan out identity provisioning to hundreds of systems with minimal effort. You can centrally manage user accounts and have them automatically created, configured, maintained, and removed when appropriate. It uses extensible scripts to manage account rights, home directories, and other resources as well as the user definitions themselves. Meanwhile, system administrators for the individual platforms in your enterprise can retain control over their areas.
