Examples: Reloading data
Business requirement
When organizational changes happen, it is essential that Bravura Security Fabric is updated. For example:
Employees transfer, take a leave of absence or depart
New staff are employed
Staff or the organization move location
Phone numbers change
These changes need to be reflected in Bravura Security Fabric quickly and easily.
Solution
Bravura Security Fabric can be configured to:
Discover groups, their attributes, and their members on a defined-target system, then to load the discovered data to the database.
To detect and update changes in attributes associated to user accounts such as names, passwords, phone number, office and home address, work status (active or inactive due to leave of absence), manager, team/group/department, and contact information.
The detected changes are updated on scheduled intervals. Authorized users can also run the update program manually in Manage the system or on the command line.
Initial considerations
Where are the changes coming from?
Account attributes changes (set by default)
Group membership changes, (parent/child group)
Persistent listing setting: enable or not enable (set to not enable by default)
The target system such as user accounts being added and deleted, accounts joining or leaving managed groups (group membership), changes in account association (user transfer)
Addition or deletion of target system
How do you want to update the changes in the database?
Use scheduled intervals for auto discovery to detect the changes and load them into database
Manually run auto discovery when required
A combination of scheduled and manual processes
Best practice
Run auto discovery when there are changes in the target system or the selected options in the page.
