Connector status / support

Customer-Verified

Clients may contact Bravura Security support for assistance with this connector. Troubleshooting and testing must be completed in the client's test environment as Bravura Security does not maintain internal test environments for the associated target system.

This connector issues commands – for example, crtusrprf – from the Bravura Security Fabric server via the IBM iSeries Access for Windows client to the OS/400 server.

The following Bravura Security Fabric operations are supported by this connector:

  • expire password

  • administrator reset password

  • administrator reset+expire password

  • unexpire password

  • user verify password

  • verify+reset password

  • create account

  • delete account

  • unlock account*

    Note

    The "unlock account" operation requires special configuration. For details see Targeting an IBM OS/400 Server.

  • disable account

  • enable account

  • check account enabled

  • update attributes

  • list account attributes

  • List:

    • accounts

    • attributes

Bravura Security Fabric can also manage application-specific accounts on OS/400 servers using the scripted connector for OS/400. See IBM OS/400 Server Hosted Applications for details.

In either case, no software is installed on the OS/400 server.

  • Bravura Pass can intercept password changes on an OS/400 system. This is done by installing an exit trap program, pspwdexit, which implements the QIBM_QSY_VLD_PASSWRD exit point on the OS/400 system.

    See the "Transparent Password Synchronization" in the Bravura Security Fabric configuration documentation for details.Transparent Password Synchronization

  • Bravura Security Fabric can also manage OS/400 system accounts by issuing commands over a TN-5250 session using the programmable Telnet connector (agtelnet). This method, however, is less secure and requires scripting. See TCP Telnet HTTP or HTTPS Access for more information.
