Is anyone using a user provisioning tool that integrates with Lawson?

Could you elaborate more on it? I'll do my best to help.

Our organization would like to use provisioning products that will automate user account creation and deactivation for different systems through a single interface, and centralize password management across systems (email, LAN, and other proprietary systems) I haven't had any luck finding a product that integrates with Lawson.

I understand this as two parts

SSOConfig??? could be an option unless many users needs to be added at one shot for which loadusers could be used.

Again, the user info stored in LDAP should be read across the email & LAN for the above situation. Wouldn't this be considered as an security issue due to the fact that the LDAP being shared across the network & emails accessing them?

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

I think you understood it correctly. The password policies need not be the same across systems. We've looked at SSO products for password management as well- the provisioning tool is another tool that will handle the automation for user account creation/deactivation such that when an employee is hired/terminated, accounts are created/removed automatically for all applications that are defined in the provisioning tool. I am just wondering how such tool will work (if it does) with Lawson user accounts - creation of UNIX ID, laua security class assignment and building the RD30 record.
