Customizing password prompt attributes

Edit online

The UNIX and Linux Adapter does password changes by using an interactive Secure Shell (SSH) session. The adapter searches for the default password prompts on the managed resource to complete the transaction successfully. If the managed resource has customized password prompts, then you can specify the password prompts on the service form that the adapter must search for.

About this task

The password prompt attributes are:

erPosixNewRegx - the new password prompt
erPosixRetypeRegx - the retype password prompt

To customize these password prompt attributes on the service form, do the following steps from IBM Security Verify Governance Identity Manager. The customized password prompt attributes are displayed on the service form. The adapter does a case-insensitive match on these password prompts.
