Project integration

Linux & Unix (SSH)

On Linux and Unix servers, accounts and groups often live locally, outside any central directory. As part of an integration project, Nova manages these local accounts and group memberships over SSH, including on appliances that offer no other management interface.

Capabilities

What the Linux & Unix (SSH) project integration covers

  • Local accounts

    Creates local user accounts on your Linux and Unix servers and removes them when they are no longer needed.

  • Group memberships

    Manages the group memberships that control access on these systems.

  • Locking without manual work

    Locks accounts on departure or status changes, with no need to log in to each server by hand.

  • Groups in the catalog

    Lists local groups in the entitlement catalog so they can be requested and recertified.

  • Appliances and legacy systems

    Reaches appliances and legacy systems whose only management interface is SSH.

  • Audit evidence

    Records every change it performs for audit purposes.

Technology and process

Integration and identity lifecycle

Technical integration

The connector connects over SSH using a dedicated service account on the target systems, typically authenticating with key pairs. It is built on Nova's connector SDK and tailored to your server landscape during the project.

In the identity lifecycle

Unix accounts follow the person's lifecycle: created at joining, group memberships adjusted on internal moves, locked at departure. Groups on these systems can be requested and recertified like any other entitlement.
