UNAB Components

The UNIX Authentication Broker (UNAB) consists of several components that manage and control access to the UNIX host by Active Directory users.

• UNAB authentication agent—The UNAB authentication agent (uxauthd) daemon services the connection with Active Directory and is responsible for maintaining a secure connection with Active Directory for user authentication and login authorization purposes, host registration with Active Directory, user and group migrations, administering the local access files and more.
• uxconsole—The uxconsole is the UNAB management console that you use to register the UNIX host with Active Directory, migrate users and groups and to register and activate UNAB.
• uxpreinstall—The uxpreinstall utility verifies that a UNIX computer complies with UNAB system requirements. Use the uxpreinstall utility to diagnose possible problems and suggest solutions for the problems.
• CA Access Control Enterprise Management—CA Access Control Enterprise Management enables you to manage your UNAB hosts from a central location. Using CA Access Control Enterprise Management, you control Active Directory users access to every UNAB host in the enterprise, manage hosts login authorizations, resolve hosts migration conflicts and generate reports.
