Targeting a specific container

Normally, Bravura Security Fabric lists all users from the specified Active Directory domain. You can restrict Bravura Security Fabric to list only those users who exist in a named container; for example, if your Active Directory is divided into organizational units. Specify the container’s distinguished name (DN) in the Base DN field on the Target system address configuration page; for example:

For example:

  • cn=psynchusers

  • ou=people,ou=hr

    When including a container in an Active Directory target system address line, do not specify the domain portion (dc=) of the DN. The domain portion is automatically determined from the domain or domain controller name specified in the first part of the target address.

You must escape backslashes and commas in the address with the backslash (\) character. For example:

  • ou=Calgary\,Alberta,ou=hr

  • ou=Calgary \\ City,ou=hr

All immediate groups under the base DN are listed regardless of whether there is a single group or a group list file specified in the address line.
