Introduction

This guide describes how to use the following connectors to connect CA IAM Connector Server with CA Top Secret endpoints:

• CA Top Secret v2 Connector with Identity Management and CA CloudMinder

  CA Top Secret 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 CA Top Secret endpoint.

• TSS TSSCFILE Connector with CA GovernanceMinder

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

• CA Top Secret Connector with Identity Management and CA GovernanceMinder

  The CA Top Secret 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 CA Top Secret connector is replaced by the CA Top Secret v2 connector. New deployments should use the CA Top Secret v2 connector.
