Configure New Discovery Server

You can use the CA Common Discovery GUI to administer multiple discovery servers.

To configure a new discovery server

1. Open the CA Common Discovery GUI.

   The default discovery server and its default namespace get connected.

   Note: To select a different discovery server, you can select the server from the Discovery Server drop down list. You can also select a different namespace from the Namespace drop down list.

   A namespace is a repository of information that includes discovery policies, entities, and scan history that are specific to a CA product. During discovery server installation, CA Common Discovery creates a common namespace that can be shared by multiple CA products.

2. Click the Edit button next to the Discovery Server drop-down list.

   The Discovery Servers dialog appears.

3. Click New.

   The Configure new Discovery Server page appears.

4. Complete the fields as appropriate, and click OK.

   A new discovery server is configured.

   Note: You can click Find to make sure your fields are accurate. This validates that a connection to the discovery server is possible. It also populates the default Namespace drop-down list based on the available namespaces defined on the discovery server.
