Simply Sync Password

Simply Sync Password is software from GoodWorks Communications that copies Active Directory passwords and other user attributes to remote systems. It avoids the need for federation or single sign-on between the directories.

What Simply Sync Password offers

• AD to AD synchronisation — keeps users and passwords aligned between separate Active Directory forests.
• Office 365 and Google targets — pushes accounts to cloud directories as well as LDAP systems.
• Hosting provider scenarios — lets Exchange hosting companies mirror customers' passwords into a shared directory.
• Documentation and support — a knowledge base and an online ticketing system are provided.

Who it works with

IT administrators and service providers. The vendor positions it as an alternative to building trusts between AD sites or running AD FS.
