Simply Sync Password

Simply Sync Password is software from GoodWorks Communications that copies Active Directory passwords and other user attributes to remote systems. It does so without federation or single sign-on. GoodWorks says it set out to help IT administrators with practical, low-maintenance tools.

What Simply Sync Password offers

• AD to AD sync — passwords and users copied between Active Directory environments.
• Office 365 sync — passwords synchronised to Office 365.
• LDAP and other targets — sync to LDAP, Google and other directories.
• Service provider use — hosting providers can sync a customer's directory into a shared one.

Who it works with

IT administrators and service providers, including Exchange hosting providers. The vendor presents it as an alternative for organisations that do not want to set up trust between AD sites or an AD FS system.
