Overview

SharePoint is a web application that relies on Microsoft Active Directory to integrate with Bravura Security Fabric . Active Directory must be integrated with Bravura Security Fabric before SharePoint can be fully integrated.

Active Directory holds all the password information, and many SharePoint attributes are actually Active Directory attributes. Essentially, SharePoint extends the Active Directory schema, and adds a few additional attributes.

Integrating SharePoint allows Bravura Security Fabric to manage groups on sites and webs, as well as managing groups on libraries. This is made possible with the help of a plugin named nrshrpt . You can enable nrshrpt from the Target system information page by setting the Managed group/Network resource target system type to "SharePoint Resource."

In SharePoint, updating managed account’s password requires resetting each account password in Active Directory and then updating account password on all of the services that are associated with the account on all servers in the farm. Bravura Privilege is able to manage SharePoint managed account passwords which simplifies password management in SharePoint to avoid manual password update tasks across multiple accounts, services and web applications etc.
