- Automate account management to the fullest extent possible
- Reduce the time and complexity to manage campus-wide accounts
Ephibian architected and deployed a complete account administration solution for Honda. Our engineers customized best-of-breed security management software , and coupled that with custom software development to provide this solution.
Based on the distributed architecture we developed, Ephibian: automated the build of the security desktop; distributed and configured the user and group profiles with the appropriate methods, dialogs, actions, and security policies & restrictions; assigned subscribers; populated users from the existing systems, and set or updated user attributes as necessary to deploy the new solution.
Ephibian’s custom password synchronization solution replaced the standard system commands and synchronized the new password on all RS/6000s and the SP complex when a user’s password was changed. The custom password command also incorporated Honda’s unique password aging and history security requirements.
Rigorous user and group account administration tests were performed during the entire customization effort, after which Ephibian deployed the solution to American Honda’s production systems. Ephibian also delivered full documentation of the solution and a customized systems administrator guide for American Honda’s IT staff.
