Handling attributes

You can view the complete list of attributes that Bravura Security Fabric can manage, including native and pseudo-attributes, in the Manage the system (PSA) module. To do this, select Novell NDS from the Manage the system > Resources > Account attributes > Target system type menu.

This section describes the attributes that Bravura Security Fabric uses to compose values, set flags, or control behavior on NDS. For information about the native NDS attributes managed by Bravura Security Fabric, consult your NDS documentation.

_homedir_option The _homedir_option pseudo-attribute controls how Bravura Security Fabric should handle home directories, upon deletion of the owner’s account. You can set the value of _homedir_option to either:

  • delete – delete the home directory (default)

  • nodelete – do not delete the home directory

    You can override the configured action/value for the _homedir_option pseudo-attribute only at the target system and target system type levels. Overriding this attribute at the template level has no effect.

_sup_homedir_option This attribute is currently not used.

home directory If the template account has files in the home directory, they are not copied.

used by The used by attribute in NDS is ignored, as it is not applied in general cases.
