Creating a template account
Bravura Security Fabric uses template accounts as models or "blueprints" for creating new Unix accounts. The following is an overview of a typical procedure for creating a (template) Unix account:
Add the account to the system.
Add the groups.
It is recommended that you do not add template accounts to Bravura Security Fabric managed groups. Managed group memberships should be handled by including them in roles.
Create the account’s home directory.
The detailed procedure for adding an account to your system varies depending on your specific Unix implementation.
Some systems include command-line utilities to help you create new accounts. For example, Debian Linux includes the useradd program. Other systems may require you edit the passwd file, shadow file , and set the password directly.
Note
It is recommended that you use the proper administrative tools to add or delete users. If the /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow files do not have corresponding entries, agtunix
will only allow listing and deleting of the faulty records.
See your Unix documentation or man pages for more information.
