Password security and the means of achieving it within a Novell environment

This paper will focus on the need for password security and the various means of implementing and maintaining it within a Novell NDS / eDirectory environment. Securing the accounts in your directory involves a combination enforcing strong passwords, account lockout periods and security policies, in addition to providing the users with training. An additional security add-on called Novell Modular Authentication Services allows for definable password characteristics and multifactor authentication using smart cards, tokens, or biometrics.
