Blue Lance Inc., the leading provider of real-time network monitoring, auditing and security technology for Novell and Windows networks, announced today the release of LT Auditor+ for Novell eDirectory(TM). The new product audits Novell's high-end directory service and is the first to tie into the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) to produce detailed audit trails and comprehensive reporting.

LT Auditor+ for Novell eDirectory monitors network activity across Windows, Linux, Solaris, AIX, NetWare and HP-UX environments and consolidates audit data into one secure database for easy reporting and reliable security-related data. Equipped with LT Auditor+'s powerful filtering technology, this new product allows administrators to be notified immediately of any security breaches.

"We are excited about Blue Lance's move to develop LT Auditor+ for Novell eDirectory via LDAP," said Ted Haeger, Novell director of marketing and product management for eDirectory. "Security-conscious enterprises will benefit from the ability to consolidate detailed audit data from eDirectory -- the foundation of Novell Nsure secure identity management solutions -- and enforce security policies across today's most popular platforms."

Novell eDirectory allows businesses to securely manage identities and security access for employees, customers and partners. LT Auditor+ for Novell eDirectory enables administrators in mixed computing environments to monitor security data, such as tracking the creation of users and groups and failed logins.
