Enhancement request - Would be great....

Hi,

First off usual thing - I've been using it for years and its great. 
Make identity work that much easier (and keeps Novell ahead of the
competition)

Enhancements I would beg for
1) DSTrace - I know your already on it can't wait to see this in full
release

2) Role based entitlements - Would be great if Designer imported these
from eDir and allowed you to manage them as part of my project file as
I use these intrinsically in my IDM designs

3) Password policies - Same as RBE's be great to see these imported and
manageable from Designer as it gives me the whole picture in one place
for much of my project work

4) Password store - be great to have a password store in designer and
then link all the passwords (i.e. remote loader, driver pwds etc) to an
object in the password store.  The reason being we frequently use
different passwords in development than we do in production and
currently we have to trawl through the configuration of the drivers and
replace all the passwords.  So much easier if they were all in one place
for a project.

Thanks for the work, by far the best Novell administration interface
ever made (incl NWAdmin)

MC

If Bill hasn't already done so, you might want to put these in to
bugzilla.novell.com as enhancements.

1) I would like to be able to print a tidy report from a compare to show
all the differences between designer and live.
2) Speed is still an issue when opening/saving a number of policies and
email templates
3) DSTrace - I miss NetWare DSTrace commands, view etc
4) I would like to have the RBE's import/compare/deploy with designer
so that the whole toolset is in one place and one project file
5) It would be good to have a builtin MD5 check on archives so on
import you can be sure its valid
6) Simulation - Be good to be able to actually carry out changes to
edir objects in a test bed in Designer rather than make a document to
process as an option for quick tests and demo's

We have made significant performance improvements in Designer 3.0 ship. But
we still have work to do in this area. This bug report might be of interest
to you:
