Note

To open Identity Management for UNIX, click Start, point to All Programs, point to Identity Management for UNIX, and then click Identity Management for UNIX. To perform this task in the command line environment, see psadmin. In addition to adding a UNIX-based computer to the list, if you want to change the user's password on the UNIX computer when the corresponding Windows user's password is changed, you must install the Password Synchronization single sign-on daemon (SSOD) on the UNIX-based computer . If you want to change the Windows user's password when the corresponding UNIX-based computer user's password is changed, you must install the pluggable authentication module (PAM) on the UNIX-based computer.
