Synchronize User Passwords

Specifies the users for whom domain account password changes are automatically synchronized in matching accounts in the RSA Authentication Manager database. You can synchronize password changes for all users, all users except those in a specified group, only users in a specified group, or no users. You also specify whether or not to send the domain name and user name to RSA Authentication Manager instead of just the user name.

Note: If you synchronize password changes only for users in a specified group or all users except those in a specified group, you must enter the name of the group in the Group name field. Enter the group name in the format \, or for the current machine, enter .\.

Supported on: Supported on Windows 7 or later.
