Password synchronization registration (PSR)
When transparent password synchronization is implemented, it is important for users to understand the new password composition rules that Bravura Pass enforces over native password changes made on individual systems. Users also need to understand that password synchronization takes place automatically after they change their own password on a trigger system.
Bravura Pass incorporates a web-based registration module, intended to prompt users for active confirmation that they understand what transparent synchronization does for them. When the Password synchronization registration (PSR) module is activated, users are not affected by transparent password synchronization until they actively “register” for it.
The Password synchronization registration (PSR) module is disabled by default. You must enable it to allow users to access this feature.
Warning
Bravura Security recommends that password synchronization be applied to all users. Registration can be used to implement password synchronization on a user-by-user basis; however, there are incompatibilities between password synchronization registration and IVR and the Bravura Pass API. If password synchronization registration is enabled, IVR and the Bravura Pass API may not be able to find users.
It is recommended that password synchronization registration only be used as an educational tool. If this module is not enabled, all Bravura Pass users are automatically subjected to password synchronization when it is activated. You can enforce registration via the PSF FORCE ENROLLMENT setting .
To configure password synchronization registration:
Click Manage the system > Modules> Password synchronization registration (PSR).
Turn on the PSR ENABLED setting.
If required, configure event options, listed in Table 1, “Password synchronization registration (PSR) module events that launch interface programs”.
Click Update to submit the changes.
Restart the Password Manager service to apply your settings.
Caution
The Password Manager service must be restarted after transparent synchronization is enabled. If it is not restarted, users may remain automatically subjected to transparent synchronization despite not being actively registered.
