For California Highway Patrol, automation using Novell Identity Manager has nearly eliminated the time-intensive manual processes related to password management and has reduced the number of passwords users have to remember by 75 percent. "Each time a new user is added, they automatically receive access to the different applications they need based on pre-defined user groups," said Bruce McLeod, system architect of Network Services at the California Highway Patrol. "That's a huge timesaver for our IT staff and has strengthened security by ensuring the right people have access to the right applications."
