Account attributes
The term account attributes refers to the attributes of user accounts on target systems; for example, most target systems store the “first name” and “last name” of the users on that system. In Active Directory, the attribute that stores the first name is givenName, and the attribute that stores the last name is sn. There are also special account attributes, called pseudo-attributes, that exist only in Bravura Security Fabric . They are used to compose values or set flags on a target system.
Each target system type has a different list of account attributes. Each target system also has its own set of requirements for each of its account attributes; for example, an attribute may:
Be required (it cannot be blank)
Contain multiple values
Be writable only by the underlying OS
Have formatting constraints (date, phone number, email)
Require a specific data type (binary, boolean, character, memo, numeric)
Be dependent on other attributes
Read the following sections to learn about how Bravura Security Fabric handles account attributes and pseudo-attributes when managing users on a target system, and how you can override its default configuration.
