Targeting a Unix system

For each Unix system, add a target system (Manage the system > Resources > Target systems):

  • ID a unique value, for example UNIXSRV

  • Type is Unix target system.

  • Address uses options described in the table below.

  • Set Program to generate a list of target systems to the program name, if you use a sub-host plugin.

    Bravura Security Fabric includes the unixsub sub-host plugin to accelerate password replication from Unix target systems.

The full list of target system parameters is explained in Target system options .Target system options

Using a sub-host plugin to replicate password changes on local workstations

You can use the unixsub sub-host plugin to replicate password changes from the main Unix target system serving the Bravura Security Fabric server to a local client machine accessed by a user.
