June 4, 2008 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Hosting software provider Ensim (ensim.com) announced on Tuesday it is now offering Ensim Unify Password Manager 2.5.

The release is part of the latest module in Ensim's Unify Enterprise Suite, which enables organizations to meet strict password policy enforcement without hindering employee productivity or using valuable IT resources.

The release comes just a week after Ensim announced it added Unify Active Directory Manager 2.5, which includes the company's latest web-based management tools for Active Directory.

Password Manager can be installed in less than two hours. It reduces the number of calls to the help desk and maximizes employee productivity, enabling organizations of all sizes to reduce the number of help desk calls for password resets by more than 30 percent.

Using a simple web-based interface, IT administrators can set and strictly enforce strong password policies by creating as many identity challenge questions as they wish that allow employees to verify their identity and securely reset their own passwords. Password Manager also provides a complete audit trail for compliance and security initiatives. "It's great to set strong password policies, but it can also be a headache for IT departments and a drain on productivity," says Scott Young, VP of product marketing at Ensim. "With Ensim Unify Password Manager 2.5, we provide a simple, effective and reliable solution for solving the growing problem of password management." Unify Password Manager 2.5 features many upgrades, including the ability for employees to reset their own passwords from the Windows log-in prompt, meaning that any employees who have forgotten their passwords are no longer stuck at the Windows log-in prompt.

Additionally, Password Manager 2.5 supports the higher security 'Graphical Identification and Authentication' extensions that are now available and selected from the self-service portal.  Ensim Unify Password Manager 2.5 can be purchased on its own or as part of the Ensim Unify Enterprise Suite.
