Data Validation Tasks

This powerful feature is also versatile enough to allow IT administrators to choose which data integrity policies should be stringently enforced, and which can be treated with more flexibility. Using rDirectory’s powerful Role-Based Access Control feature, administrators can apply different data integrity policies to different users or groups. The completion options allow you to choose the level of enforcement for specific data and for selected users.

rDirectory also offers the ProfileValidator, an optional add-on that can be used to enforce data integrity or password profile enrollment policies when the user logs on to Windows. The ProfileValidator can also be configured to either require the user to complete their profile before they are allowed to logon, or simply suggest that the profile be updated. In this case, the user will be reminded on each logon until the updates are completed.

The ProfileValidator has several built-in mechanisms that minimize logon delays:

• Allows you to configure the frequency that it checks the user's profile
• Verifies connectivity to the domain prior to performing a scheduled check on a user's profile
• Can be used on shared PCs and will treat each user independently

When no check is scheduled, no updates are required; or if the user is disconnected, the ProfileValidator simply exits quickly and the user logs on normally.

The ProfileValidator addresses the number one obstacle to the successful deployment of any self-service password reset solution: getting your users to enroll.

When used with myPassword, the ProfileValidator will run on each user's PC at logon, and can be configured to either require the user to complete their profile before they are allowed to continue, or simply suggest that the profile be updated. In this case, the user will be reminded on each logon until the updates have been completed.

The ProfileValidator is an invaluable tool that facilitates the rapid enrollment of myPassword. And once your users can securely reset their own passwords, the relief to your Help Desk staff is immediate – resulting in a measurable ROI!
