The first beta of Passenger 2.0, a server account creation and password generation tool, is now available from MacinMind Software. It adds support for Mac OS X Server import and export, as well as other new features.
Passenger will import tab and comma-delimited text, ASIP 6.3, Mac OS X XML and create account information and passwords for AppleShare IP 5-6.3, Mac OS X Server, Macintosh Manager, Eudora Internet Mail Server, WebSTAR FTP, WebSTAR Web, Master Spell and Master Key, according to Jay Lichtenauer of MacinMind. Version 2.0 also adds User ID numbering for Macintosh Manager 2.0 export, more password formulation choices, more user name formulation choices (including repeating with digits), the ability to export multiple Macintosh Manager Workgroups, an option to use a last name as the name for Workgroup, and automatic detection of XML from delimited text.
If you’d like to test-drive the beta, there’s a Carbon/Mac OS X download and a Classic Mac OS download. Passenger is developed with REALbasic, the development environment from REAL Software.
