Creating a list file to support challenge-response authentication

Some target systems do not natively support listing objects using the connectors. In this case, you must create the list file manually and you need to have a SQLite database list file to associate users and other objects during auto discovery. You can create the file by copying it from another target such as Active Directory.

Refer to Creating a list file and copying data from other targets for how to use the Copy data from these targets, separated by commas, during auto-discovery target system option to be able to copy the listing data from one or more other targets to use for the list file for the target. This also makes use of the Connector execution order auto discovery list as well as a post psupdate script for the target that you are copying data to.

Alternatively, you can use the List Override target address option to create the list file.

See here for examples of using List Override:

The following are examples of settings to use when using the List Override target address option:

  • In the case where ADDN is the target ID from the target that you are copying from, set the List Override target address option to the following:

    {action=copy;srcTargetId=ADDN;script=listoverride.py;postHook=replaceLongIdWithShortId;}

  • If copying the list file from an RSA Authentication Manager target and where RSAAM is the target ID or from another source where the longid is the same as the shortid and therefore doesn’t need to be replaced, set the List Override target address option to the following:

    {action=copy;srcTargetId=RSAAM;}

  • General usage for the KVGroup for List Override:

    {action=copy;srcTargetId=<source target id>;script=<script name>;postHook=<hook name>;}
