Re: [nv-l] External Authentication Module

I did not consider Cisco ACS or other options since this would require yet another vendor. But if that's an option I am all for other possibilities.

Last month an enhancement request MR0323052753 was submitted for LDAP integration with Netview for SOX compliance. The Tivoli Managed Environment has worked well with LDAP meeting SOX Compliance thus far. Only the Netview Product running as ROOT seems to be the lone gun.

I was hoping with this request we will not have to manage the users at all. Just point to an LDAP group and let the Account Admins handle the rest.

Someone mentioned at the Tivoli User Conference nvsecd for managing roles or accounts. But this is not an option for us since SOX is the goal. And If we are still managing users... you get the point.

Subject: [nv-l] External Authentication Module - Netview Web Clients

Anyone using an AAA server like Cisco ACS to authenticate users for Netview?
This would be great for having passwords synced with AD or NDS.
Would this be better suited as a feature request?
Any thoughts?
