Which allows you to securely store multiple passwords for a driver?

Named Passwords are a feature within Micro Focus Identity Manager specifically designed to securely store credentials (passwords, keys, etc.) as named objects within eDirectory. These objects are associated with a driver or driver set and are stored in an encrypted format. Drivers and policies can then reference these credentials by their name, which prevents the need to hardcode sensitive information directly into driver configurations or policy XML. This mechanism allows for the secure and centralized management of multiple passwords required for a driver to connect to and operate with various connected systems.

B. Universal Password: This is a user-centric password management feature in eDirectory that enforces a single password policy for a user across multiple platforms, not for storing driver service account credentials.

C. Password Policy object: This eDirectory object defines the rules and constraints (e.g., length, complexity, history) for user passwords governed by the Universal Password policy, not for driver credentials.

D. Event Auditing Service: This service is used for logging, recording, and reporting on events that occur within the Identity Vault and connected systems. It does not store operational passwords.

E. Password Synchronization: This is the process of keeping a user's password consistent across multiple applications. It is a core function of the Identity Manager engine, not a storage mechanism for driver credentials.

1. Micro Focus Identity Manager 4.8.6 Documentation, "Understanding Policies for Identity Manager": In the section "Named Passwords," it states, "Named Passwords allow you to securely store passwords in a named object that can be referenced from policies or driver configurations... The Named Password values are stored as part of the DirXML-Driver or DirXML-DriverSet object and are encrypted." (Reference: Section 5.10, "Named Passwords").

2. Micro Focus Identity Manager 4.8.4 Documentation, "Policies in Designer": The section on "Using Named Passwords" explains, "Named Passwords provide a secure way to store passwords that are used by the Identity Manager engine and drivers. You can reference a named password from a policy or a driver configuration setting, rather than entering the password in clear text." (Reference: Section 1.11, "Using Named Passwords").

3. Micro Focus Identity Manager 4.8 Documentation, "Driver Administration Guide": The guide details the creation process and purpose: "You can use a named password to securely store passwords that are used by the Identity Manager engine and drivers." (Reference: Section 2.1.5, "Creating a Named Password").
