Managing existing IDs
By default, Bravura Security Fabric assumes that users have the same login ID on every system. In practice, users may have different login IDs on some systems. Bravura Security Fabric allows for this using self-service login ID reconciliation, which allows each user to attach non-standard login IDs from each system.
Help desk users can enter non-standard login ID information for users using the Help users (IDA) module. To learn how users can attach accounts for themselves from the main menu , see Managing Your Existing IDs .
To update account information for another user:
Click Attach other accounts.
Type in new account login IDs in the fields beside the listed systems.
The ID is automatically added to a user’s profile. Bravura Security Fabric does not verify whether the ID exists on the target system until the next auto discovery process. Ensure that you enter the ID name correctly.
To detach an ID from a user’s profile, enable the Detach? checkbox corresponding to the system/login ID. If target systems are not set up to allow removal of accounts, this option is not available.
Click Update.
Bravura Security Fabric updates the user’s account information and re-displays the page.
Managing accounts on context target systems
Some systems, such as Novell NDS and LDAP, have login IDs with context. In these cases, what users think is a login ID, is most likely just a "common name" – the first part of a longer ID. For example, Novell NDS user johndoe.accounting.example.com may type johndoe to log in.
Because of the context, there may be multiple users with the same common name, or the same user may have multiple accounts, in different contexts, with the same common name.
To add alternate login IDs for users in a context environment, type their common name into the Attach other accounts page. If there are multiple login IDs with the same common name, Bravura Security Fabric displays a separate page to prompt you to select the ones you want to assign to the user.
