Creating Custom Dependencies

If there are different dependency types that you want to manage that are not supported out of the box, new ones can be created based on a script. A custom dependency consists of two components:

  • Dependency Template: The dependency template defines how a dependency is matched to discovered accounts and how it updates the target after a password change occurs on the account. to create a new dependency template, go to Admin > Secret Templates and click the Dependency Templates button.
  • Dependency Changer: A dependency changer is a script and the associated parameters to be passed into the script. Dependency changers can be created and modified by going to Admin > Remote Password Changing > Configure Dependency Changers.
Please see Discovery Overview for comprehensive guidance on configuring and using dependency changers and dependency templates.
