Handling account attributes
You can view the complete list of attributes that Bravura Security Fabric can manage, including native and pseudo-attributes, using the Manage the system (PSA) module. To do this, select Generic Linux Server (SSH) or Generic Linux Server (SSH) (Legacy) from the Manage the system > Resources > Account attributes >Target system type menu.
This section describes the pseudo-attributes that Bravura Security Fabric uses to compose values, set flags, or control behavior on a Linux Server.
_skeldir This pseudo-attribute is used for specifying the source directory when creating the home directory for a new account. By default, this pseudo-attribute is ignored on account creation and Bravura Security Fabric uses the system’s skeleton directory as the source.
To specify a different source directory, configure skeldir and set the value to either:
TEMPLATE - to copy the structure and contents of the template account’s home directory
A valid path to a directory - to copy the structure and contents of an existing directory on the target
_deleteHomeDir There are three possible options for deleting the user’s home directory when the account is deleted off the system:
always- delete the home directory when the account is deleted.whensafe- only delete the home directory if it matches the user name and no other accounts use it.never- keep the home directory when the account is deleted.
Bravura Security Fabric will not delete the home directory if the account is not the owner. If no action is defined for _deleteHomeDir , the default action is never .
_archiveHomeDir Specifies a valid path on the target where the account’s home directory will be archived when the account is deleted.
If an invalid path was specified or no action is defined for _archiveHomeDir , the account’s home directory will not be archived.
