FastPass Sync

The fundamental requirement for FastPass Sync for SAP is a single Virtual Windows server (versions 2019-2022). Additionally, FastPass Interceptor needs to be installed on all Domain Controllers to facilitate Windows password interception. For each SAP instance, a dedicated service account is necessary, along with the installation of a small ABAP program. These components ensure seamless integration and functionality of FastPass Sync with your SAP system.

The cost would be per user and this covers unlimited number of SAP instances. For a subscription model the cost is only around 20-30 cents per month per user.

In most cases, password synchronization with SAP through FastPass is completed in under 15 seconds. This duration can vary depending on factors like hardware specifications, the number of users, and the number of target systems. During peak times, such as Monday mornings following a holiday break, synchronization may take slightly longer, typically ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute, due to higher system loads.

We offer monitoring and operational standards for the ongoing operation of FastPass Sync.

Yes we do. FastPass Sync can also support:

IBM X, IBM Z, Oracle, Microsoft SQL, LDAP, Google, eDirectory

Completely aligning the password policies between Active Directory and SAP is not always feasible due to certain inherent differences. For instance, Active Directory and SAP may have different definitions for special characters, and some SAP systems require passwords to start with a letter. However, with FastPass Password Filter, these discrepancies can be effectively managed, ensuring smoother operation. For FastPass Sync customers, this filter is provided free of charge.

Yes, FastPass has a user mapping engine for that exact purpose. Usually this is the case, either for some or all users. Sometimes we can make the mapping manually using Active Directory data, a different field, email address, UPN name or parts of the SAMAccountname. In other cases we get data from an Identity System and in yet other cases we get data from SAP and map on e.g. Email address. Contact us to find the right solution.

Can The FastPass Sync engine is built for load, spawning out multiple threads to handle load. We have customers with over 95 target systems(typically this is having FastPass handling the whole landscape, Sandbox, Development, Test, QA and Production).

By default FastPass will unlock the account, but only if the account is locked because of too many failed password attempts.

Yes, the password set by FastPass will be productive.

Yes, FastPass is compatible with Secure Network Communications (SNC) Client Encryption, ensuring it can function effectively in environments with SNC enabled for enhanced network security.

FastPass is equipped with a resilient retry system for such scenarios. By default, it will attempt to retry the synchronization process 10 times, with a 2-minute interval between each attempt. These retry settings are adjustable to better suit your specific environment. Moreover, in instances where the SAP system experiences an extended downtime, FastPass provides an option to manually trigger a synchronization for a chosen time interval. However, this feature needs to be enabled, as it involves data deletion considerations.

The fundamental requirement for FastPass Sync for Oracle is a single Virtual Windows server (versions 2019-2022). Additionally, FastPass Interceptor needs to be installed on all Domain Controllers to facilitate Windows password interception. Finally the Oracle Instant Client needs to be installed on the server.

No special software installation is required on the Oracle side. The integration consists of functions and procedures. They all need to be added to the database at hand. These are noted in detail on the Oracle Integration Notes document available on the support site. On the FastPass side the Oracle Instant Client for Windows is needed.

Yes, FastPass supports encrypted connections to Oracle. To enable this feature, ensure that the setting SQLNET.ENCRYPTION_CLIENT=required is configured on the client side. This setting mandates the use of an encrypted connection, thereby enhancing the security of the data transmission to and from the Oracle database.

Yes, FastPass is compatible with Oracle RAC databases. To ensure proper functionality in this environment, the only requirement is a slight modification to the connection string. Once adjusted, FastPass should operate effectively within the Oracle RAC framework.

No special software installation is required on IBM iSeries / AS400 systems for FastPass. FastPass connects to these systems via the remote command port, facilitating seamless integration without the need for additional software installations.

The fundamental requirement for FastPass Sync for IBM is a single Virtual Windows server (versions 2019-2022). Additionally, FastPass Interceptor needs to be installed on all Domain Controllers to facilitate Windows password interception.

For effective integration with IBM iSeries, FastPass requires the OS/400 version V4R5 or above. Additionally, a dedicated service account needs to be set up to enable FastPass's connection to the system. It's also important to ensure that the Password Level on the iSeries system is set to at least level 2 to facilitate proper synchronization with FastPass.

The method used by FastPass to reset passwords for IBM Z/OS depends on the specific system setup. Generally, we utilize either an LDAP connector or an SSH connector. The choice between these two options is based on the infrastructure and requirements of the IBM Z/OS environment in question. Contact us for a quick review of available options.
