Setting Up a Service Connection for Resources

For resources based on Windows OS, *nix OS and MS SQL Server, MySQL, OracleDB and PostgreSQL, you can configure a service connection that will allow you to perform the following operations:

  • Checking the connection to the resource
  • Synchronization of accounts
  • Account password verification
  • Resetting account passwords
  • Synchronization of account security groups
  • Synchronization of data about the OS or DBMS version

The service connection can be configured both when adding a resource or after adding it to Axidian Privilege, this article will consider examples of setting up a service connection for resources already added to the system.

note

Checking passwords of local resource accounts under Linux OS can be performed without setting up a service connection to the resource.
