Title: Options for Integrating Novell Identity Manager with Linux and UNIX Systems
Abstract: If you use Novell Identity Manager on a network with Linux or other UNIX-like operating environments, you likely have more configuration options for identity management and provisioning than you realize. Your choices between two different driver designs—Fan-Out and bi-directional—in concert with Identity Manager support for multiple open protocols (such as NSS, PAM and LDAP) ensure a decision process that focuses on the unique needs of your organization. This session demonstrates four scenarios for configuring Novell Identity Manager drivers in any POSIX-compliant environment, each significant in its scale and division of administrative duties.

Title: Automating Network Registration and Access with Novell Identity Manager
Abstract: When network developers at Clemson began exploring ways to fix an overloaded application used to track computers on their network, their familiarity with Novell Identity Manager provided the key. With a little help from the Identity Manager Scripting Driver, they soon devised a method to transfer management of IP address assignment and hardware recognition to the Identity Vault, the robust eDirectory object tree used by Identity Manager. Now, whenever one of Clemson's 40,000 users logs on to the network, the DHCP server just asks Identity Manager if the user's IP address is registered. If it's not, a simple self-service Web page enables users to provide their own registration information and quickly move on. But that's only a part of the rich functionality this completely self-sustaining solution provides. This session describes the rest of its features.
