          PowerPassWord

          Description

          PowerPassWord acts like an agent on behalf of the user.
          The agent performs repetitive tasks, that the user
          himself has to do, thereby freeing the user for
          productive work.

          The PowerPassWord Agent receives a password
          synchronization request then the password is changed by
          a user. A replication table, defined by the system
          manager, tells the agent where to send the replication
          request. The replication request is received by the
          PowerPassWord Server running on replicator nodes. The
          server changes the password if the sender and receiving
          domain id matches.

          The user does not any longer have to log in to
          replicated nodes and specify a new password to have them
          synchronized.

          Unreachable nodes, and nodes not connected to the
          network when the password is changed, have their
          passwords synchronized when the node reconnects to the
          network.

          No changes of OpenVms software is needed and the normal
          dcl SET PASSWORD command is used.

          Replication functionality

          Three different levels of functionality can be used.

            1. All users. Replication functionality is supported
               for all users in the system to all replication
               nodes. Can be used in a very secure environment. No
               setup needed. It’s just to startup PowerPassWord
            2. Selected users and all nodes. Replication
               functionality is supported for users holding a
               special identifier to all defined replication
               nodes.
            3. Selected users and defined nodes for each users.
               Replication functionality is tailored for each
               user.

          Security

          The PowerPassWord agent and server software is executed
          in a controlled environment. They are started and
          maintained by the system manager. The PowerPassWord
          server replicates passwords only when the received
          password information, including a domain-id, is
          identical on sending and receiving nodes. The local
          system manager, responsible for the server part, defines
          the domain-id used by the local system. If the local
          domain-id is identical with the received domain-id the
          received encrypted password is stored in the local
          UAF-file by the server.

          PowerPassWord event log

          All actions by the PowerPassWord agent as well as the
          PowerPassWord server are written to log files.

          Pricing

          The PowerPassWord product is marketed as an inexpensive
          software package with a price independent of cpu size
          and number of users.

          A PowerPassWord license is a non-transferable,
          non-exclusive right to use licensed software on a site.
          A software key is distributed enabling different number
          of replication nodes. Distribution media is not included
          in license fee.Software maintenance agreements are
          available.

          Installation kit and Documentation

          A Cerit PowerPassWord Reference and installation manual
          is included in the distribution kit. As a distribution
          media TK50 or 4 mm Dat tape is supported.

          Prerequisites

          OpenVms 5.4 VAX or higher. OpenVms AXP 6.0 or higher. (A
          special supplied routine is used for pre-Vms 6.0
          versions to enable replication functionality, Server
          functionality is supported on all systems)
