Fortefi Provisioning: Technology

HOW DOES POLICY ENFORCEMENT WORK?
The Policy Enforcement Agents interact with the operating systems' PAM/LAM/SIA structures, which allows Provisioning to offer an extended and common set of user attributes.

Policy enforcement supported attributes

Shell, Home Directory, Description, Primary Group Profile, Disabled, Expired, Minimum length, Maximum age, Minimum age, History, Expiry warning days, Expired message, Self change, Self select, Synchronize, Reset Password Age, Min number of rules, Max repeating characters, Min alpha characters, Min numeric characters, Min symbols, Min uppercase, characters, Expires on, Lockout, Inactive days, Login limit, Audit ID, Message of the day, Disabled message, Account access times, Allow CDE, Allow console, Allow telnet, Allow remote shell (rsh), Allow remote login (rlogin), Allow ftp, Allow ssh, Allow su, Allow other types, Group membership

Provisioning offers the widest possible range of configurable attributes and make these common across all supported platforms. In all cases, the implementation of PAM/LAM/SIA is in accordance with the original design of the operating system.

FAILOVER
Provisioning is transaction based, therefore all changes are stored at the manager; in the event an agent is unavailable, these will be passed onto the host once connectivity is re-established. All user and group accounts are created locally to prevent disruption to user access in the event that the Fortefi framework is offline.

PLATFORM SUPPORT
Provisioning is built upon the Fortefi Framework, a scalable base that provides platform independence for all solutions in the Fortefi product suite.

The entire product suite is securely administered from a central web console using a hierarchical domain management structure that allows online deployment and update of any Fortefi solution to any host with a couple of clicks.
