Introduction

This guide describes how to use the following connectors to connect CA IAM Connector Server with IBM RACF (RACF) endpoints:

• RACF v2 Connector for Identity Management and CA CloudMinder

  RACF v2 is a Java connector that is installed with the CA IAM Connector Server (CA IAM CS). Identity Management and CA CloudMinder can use this connector to gather data and provision users in a RACF endpoint.

• IRRDBU00 Connector for CA GovernanceMinder

  The IRRDBU00 connector is a dump file Java connector which is installed with the CA IAM Connector Server. The IRRDBU00 utility extracts information from the RACF system to a security file. CA GovernanceMinder can then read endpoint information from that file.

• RACF Connector with Identity Management, CA CloudMinder, and CA GovernanceMinder

  The RACF connector is a plug-in component of the Identity Management Provisioning Server. CA GovernanceMinder can access the endpoint through its Identity Management connector.

  Note: The RACF connector is replaced by the RACF v2 connector. New deployments should use the RACF v2 connector.

Audience

This guide targets the following people:

• Identity Management administrators responsible for connecting endpoints to Identity Management
• CA CloudMinder administrators responsible for connecting endpoints to CA CloudMinder
• CA GovernanceMinder integrators responsible for integrating CA GovernanceMinder with other products
• The mainframe security administrator responsible for the endpoint.

Supported Systems

To see a list of supported systems, use the Platform Support Matrix:

• Platform Support Matrix for Identity Management
• Platform Support Matrix for CA GovernanceMinder

To verify which endpoint versions are supported, see the table "Supported Connector Endpoint Types" in the Platform Support Matrix. This table also lists the version of CA LDAP Server that the mainframe requires.

To verify which operating systems CA IAM Connector Server can run on, see the table "Supported Connector Servers" in Platform Support Matrix.

To see a list of attributes that CA IAM Connector Server handles, see the attribute list on the Download page for Endpoint Guides for Identity Management.
