Hi, can anyone please tell me how ISIM (Security identity manager ) linux adapter read account id status from linux server (active / inactive) which attribute reads this data and what is the condition to set id status in ISIM linux account ids as active/inactive.

Hello Himanshu,
ISIM performs the following command for one of the files /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, depending if you use or not shadow file:
   cat <passwd_or_shadow_file> |grep -e ^<user>:
then it retrieves the following character of the first colon character ":".
If that character is the ASCII-33 "!", then it retuns inactive, else it returns active.

Hope it helps!
