Sample CA DSI Server Configuration with CIA Real-Time

When the CIA real-time feature is enabled, the security product sends updates to CA DSI Server. CA DSI Server invokes the CA DSI Server plugin to send the update to the CIA repository. The result is that the CIA repository is updated and synchronized with the security product database. The CA DSI Server that is used for this process (spawned or standalone) must have the plugin configured. In this example, the CA DSI Server plugin is configured in the standalone CA DSI Server.

The following diagram shows a sample configuration with real-time CIA updates using standalone CA DSI Server servers:

This diagram shows a sample DSI configuration whereby three LPARs with three separate External Security Managers share real-time CIA updates.

This diagram shows a sample configuration for CIA real-time processing with the CA Chorus UI running on LPAR B. The CA Chorus UI gets data from the CIA repository, which communicates with the CA DSI Server. CA DSI Server receives real-time CIA updates from your external security manager (CA ACF2 or CA Top Secret).
