Glenn - Are you able to share what the cost for that was (ballpark -
solution only, not labor)? And, does it require that the account is the
same ("smartinson" on AD and "smartinson" on System i)?

subject: RE: i5/OS password sync with Windows Active Directory

Yes, we are using a third party product to do this.

I'm not the expert on how it works, but we installed an agent on each
partition from a company called Courion. When someone changes their AD
password, then each OS/400 partition is checked for that account and if
it exists, the password is sync'ed. This product also offers a self
service password reset function, but we do not allow IT staff to either
sync using active directory or to use the self service reset. It's
considered too high a risk for IT, so only our end users are getting to
use of this service.

HTH,
Glenn Birnbaum
