Using REGISTER

Using REGISTER

CA-REGISTER is a component of CA Common Infrastructure (CA‑CIS) that lets your site automate the process of identifying users to multiple applications or system products. Rather than entering user information over and over again, CA-REGISTER provides your site with a single point registration facility. It lets you add and delete users to and from the CA ACF2 for VM databases, as well as from other products and applications.

CA-REGISTER functions independently of CA ACF2 for VM. It has a separate installation procedure as part of CA-CIS. CA-REGISTER is really a shell that provides an interface between you and the applications at your site. CA ACF2 for VM provides you with an application to be used by CA-REGISTER. You can provide other applications for CA-REGISTER.

You can use the REGISTER panels or the RGCMD command to add and delete users from the system. Both methods are easy to use.
