Because a NULL target system is only a placeholder, its connector program, agtnull , does not actually connect to an external system. When a supported operation is performed on this type of target system the agent always returns success.

Since agtnull does not connect to an external system, the listing of users, groups, and group memberships is not supported.

If you want users or other objects to be associated with a placeholder target you must arrange for lists to be generated and copied to the <instance>\psconfig\ on the Bravura Security Fabric server. See Listing information from target systems to learn how to write these files.

Targeting

For each inventory or special-purpose target:

  1. Set the target system type to NULL target system.

  2. Type an arbitrary value (for example, null or n/a) for the target system ID and description, and address fields.

    These fields are required but not used.

It is recommended that you:

  • Deselect the List accounts checkbox.

  • Deselect the Allow users to verify passwords or Verify passwords on this target? checkbox unless required for testing purposes.

  • Accept the default values for all other options.

The full list of target system parameters is explained in Target System Options.

You are not required to enter target system administrator credentials for NULL Target target systems.
