CA Top Secret v2

CA Top Secret v2 is a Java connector that is installed with the CA IAM Connector Server. This chapter describes how to connect to a CA Top Secret v2 connector. You can use the CA Top Secret v2 connector to allow the following products to connect to a CA Top Secret endpoint:

• Identity Management
• CA CloudMinder

In Identity Management, if you are replacing the CA Top Secret connector with the CA Top Secret v2 connector, use the migration tool to migrate account templates and their associations to objects in the CA Top Secret v2 connector. For more information, see Appendix A: How to Migrate Data from the Plug-in Connector section in this guide.

The following diagram shows the tasks that are required to connect to the endpoint, and who does each task.

1. A mainframe security administrator installs CA LDAP Server on the mainframe, then sets it to use SSL in Server Mode.
2. The connector server administrator does the following steps:
   1. (If necessary) Ensure that CA IAM Connector Server is installed.
   2. (If necessary) Import the CA LDAP Server certificate into the CA IAM Connector Server keystore.
   3. (If necessary) Map custom attributes.
   4. Integrate the managed endpoints in Identity Management.
   5. For CA CloudMinder, configure the cloud-based CA IAM Connector Server for setting up CA IAM Connector Server on the cloud.
   6. (If necessary) the Identity Management administrator migrates data from a CA Top Secret endpoint that used the old plugin connector. These details are described in How to Migrate Data.
3. The CA product administrator connects to the endpoint:
   • Connect to the endpoint in Identity Management or CA CloudMinder
   • Connect to the endpoint in CA GovernanceMinder

Install and Configure CA LDAP Server

This procedure is for the mainframe security administrator.

To allow CA IAM Connector Server to communicate with the endpoint, install CA LDAP Server on the mainframe. To keep your data secure, configure CA LDAP Server to use SSL.
