Powertech Multi-Factor Authentication Integrations

Active Directory stores information about objects on the network and makes this information easy for administrators and users to find and use. Active Directory uses a structured data store as the basis for a logical, hierarchical organization of directory information. This data store, also known as the directory, contains information about Active Directory objects. These objects typically include shared resources such as servers, volumes, printers, and the network user and computer accounts. For more information about the Active Directory data store, see Directory data store. Security is integrated with Active Directory through logon authentication and access control to objects in the directory. With a single network logon, administrators can manage directory data and organization throughout their network, and authorized network users can access resources anywhere on the network. Policy-based administration eases the management of even the most complex network.

Enabling users to reset their own IBM i passwords immediately removes productivity bottlenecks for both users and the IT support technicians who would typically have to process the request. When users don’t have to file a help desk ticket for password resets, IT can spend their time addressing more critical issues. With password resets accounting for up to 50 percent of help desk calls, productivity gains add up quickly. Guarantee the authenticity of users and prevent fraudulent reset requests by asking a series of challenge questions that must be answered correctly before a reset will be approved. Configure settings to meet security policy requirements. Set rules for the minimum number of password characters, whether repetition of characters is allowed, and whether answers must be case-sensitive.
