Unix Account Recon

Hi Team,

 

We are using a unix connector to import groups and accounts from a unix server. As per freshdesk, we have provided the path to the groups file in the server and we were able to successfully recon all tye files into saviynt. For account recon, we have provided the path to accounts file and the shadow file as well, but after recon, zero accounts are imported to saviynt. There are no errors in the logs. Once the recon job is completed, it says zero accounts.

The account file has the following format:

hostname1, account name1, userkey1, AD_account of the user1

hostname2, account name2, userkey2, AD_account of the user2

 

Is there any mapping required to be provided so that the accounts are mapped properly into saviynt? Or is there any other configurations we are missing?

 

We are on 5.5SP3 version.

Hello @SUMAIYA_BABU ,

  • To enable import and provisioning operations using the target application account, the Unix Administrator must create a sudo user account for connector operations. This account must have root or sudo privileges on all supported applications.
  • In order to execute commands for various actions in the Unix connector, the service or user account used to connect to the target application must have the necessary permissions and privileges.
  • Furthermore, ensure that the accounts listed in both files are consistent and in sync. 

          /etc/passwd
           /etc/shadow
Check that the accounts are the same in both files to ensure synchronization.

Thanks
