UNIX ETC and NIS Connector
The UNIX Connector provides a single point for all user administration by letting you do the following:
- Register endpoints, explore them for objects to manage, and correlate their accounts with global users
- Create and manage UNIX accounts using UNIX‑specific account templates
- Change account passwords and account activations in one place
- Synchronize global users with their roles or synchronize global users' accounts with their account templates
- Assign a UNIX policy to each of your UNIX endpoints
- Use the default Endpoint Type policy to create accounts with the minimum level of security needed to access a UNIX directory
- Create and manage UNIX groups
- Generate and print reports about UNIX accounts and groups
This connector is managed using the Connector and agent installation process. For more information and requirements, click here.
This connector can also be managed using the Connector and C++ Server installation process as well.
