Sun Identity Manager 8.1 Business Administrator's Guide

Risk Analysis

Identity Manager risk analysis features let you report on user accounts whose profiles fall outside certain security constraints. Risk analysis reports scan the physical resource to gather data and show, by resource, details about disabled accounts, locked accounts, and accounts with no owners. They also provide details about expired passwords. Report details vary depending on the resource type.


Note –

Standard reports are available for AIX, HP, Solaris, NetWare NDS, and Windows Active Directory resources.


Risk analysis pages are controlled by a form and can be configured for your environment. You can find a list of forms under the RiskReportTask object on the idm\debug page (The Identity Manager Debug Page), and modify these by using the Identity Manager IDE. See Chapter 3, Identity Manager Forms, in Sun Identity Manager Deployment Referencefor more information about configuring forms.
