Customizing connector behavior

Use the Manage the system (PSA) module to set registry entries that control the behavior of individual connectors. To customize the interaction between an individual connector and the corresponding target system:

  1. Click Manage the system > Maintenance > Connector behavior .

  2. Select the sub-menu item for the connector you want to customize, or click Options for general options that apply to connector programs.

    Bravura Security Fabric displays the options page.

  3. Select the appropriate option to enable or disable, or type a value in the field provided.

  4. Click Update at the bottom of the page.

The following subsections describe settings for individual connectors.

Windows NT Server/domain

The following apply to all Windows NT type targets:

Option

Description

WINNT EMIT INFO

If enabled, this registry setting causes the (agtnt) connector to return IP/DNS information on reset.

WINNT RESET ENABLE ACCT

Enable disabled Windows NT accounts after a successful password reset.

WINNT VERIFY DISABLED

Allow Bravura Security Fabric to verify passwords for disabled Windows NT accounts.

By default, Bravura Security Fabric returns failure if the account is disabled.

Novell NDS

The following apply to all Novell NDS type targets:

Option

Description

NDS RESET CLR EXPIRY

Expire NDS passwords this many hours after an administrative reset.

Note: If the Force Periodic Password Changes” setting is not enabled in NDS, Bravura Security Fabric does not enable this setting after a password reset.

NDS RESET ENABLE ACCT

Enable disabled NDS accounts after a successful password reset.

NDS RESET EXPIRY INTERVAL

By default, expire NDS passwords this many minutes after a password reset, if users have no expiry interval set on the NDS server.

Note: If the Force Periodic Password Changes setting is not enabled in NDS, Bravura Security Fabric does not enable this setting after a password reset.

Groupwise Domain

If the GroupWise connector (agtgrpw) fails to retrieve user lists (typically due to mail infrastructure problems), you can configure Bravura Security Fabric to list users by enumerating each PostOffice rather than from the domain directly. To do this, enable the GRPW LIST PO setting.

Connector Behavior Options

Proxy list randomization

When a target system is configured with a List of proxies to run connectors on , the default behavior is to attempt to connect to the proxies in sequence in the order in which they are listed. The first successful connection is used as the proxy to run the connector.

You can configure Bravura Security Fabric to attempt to connect to proxies in random order. To do this, enable the AGENT PROXY RANDOM setting on the Manage the system > Maintenance > Connector behavior > Options page.

Connector timeout

Bravura Security Fabric can trigger updates on external IT Service Management (Ticket) systems, and send email to administrators when an connector times out. The amount of time before Bravura Security Fabric stops an connector is configured in each target system’s Connector timeout setting.

To activate this trigger, type the name of the program or target ID in the AGENT TIMEOUT field on the Manage the system > Maintenance > Connector behavior > Options page.
