I had a pre-release (dare I say “beta”) of this video, and some have shared the links already, but I’ve completed the 10 minute epic that is called “Quest For Password Management.” The video is rendering and uploading now, and should be up by 11:30 AM GMT. Its actually a video showing 3 of Quest’s Identity Management products; Quest Password Manager, Quest Defender and Quest Webthority. Note that Webthority is now part of Defender, and we’re sure to change the name in the future.
Anyway, the recording can be found here:

Techie sidenote: The thing that took the longest? Setting up a CA (Certificate Authority). Now, you’re probably going to ask yourself, “why on earth do I need a CA to do password management?” And the answer is “you don’t.” However, if you wish to perform an AD password change, its best to do it over LDAP-S (port 636) rather than plain LDAP (port 389). And in trying to set this up in Webthority, I swore I found a bug (yes, even Quest products have bugs from time to time). But it turns out that I just wasn’t configuring the CA properly, and it took our fine support people to point out that I simply didn’t know what I was doing. In fact, I’m told there will be a support KB article on the topic shortly. I’ll keep you posted.
