About notifications

There are two kinds of notification events:

  • Batch notifications Are evaluated at certain times of day, or as requested by Bravura Security Fabric administrators. They are evaluated for all users, and those that meet the selection criteria are usually sent notification via email.

  • Web notifications Are triggered when a single user does something, such as log into a workstation or into Bravura Security Fabric .

    The action or event causes a connection with the Notification Service, which evaluates which notifications apply to the user, and whether any action needs to be taken. For example, a user logging into his workstation may have a reminder for a pending password expiry. The service could then cause a browser to open for the user to log in and then show an informational page for the notification.

    Web notifications can be configured to force the user to take action before allowing them to proceed. In the example above, the service might log the user off if he closes his web browser without changing his password.

To set up user notifications:

  1. Install the Notification Client (psntfclient) , if users will receive notification via their web browser.

  2. Add password expiry detection , if users will be notified when their network password is about to expire.

  3. Configure web notifications or batch notifications .

Note

You must have the "Manage notifications" administrative privilege to configure user notifications.
