Management Console

The Management Console allows hosting administrators to manage CA IdentityMinder directories and tenant environments. Use the Management Console to configure the initial roles in the system, and to enable certain advanced features.

The Management Console is installed with the Identity Management server (CA IdentityMinder).

To access the Management Console, enter the following URL in a browser:

http://hostname:port/iam/immanage

hostname

Defines the fully qualified domain name or IP address for the server where CA IdentityMinder is installed.

port

Defines the application server port.

Tenant administrators do not have access to the Management Console.

User Console

Tenant and hosting administrators use the User Console to manage a tenant environment.

The User Console includes a set of default tasks and admin roles.

• Tasks are actions that administrators or end users perform in CA CloudMinder.
• Admin roles associate users and privileges. A user who has a role can perform its tasks. Users may have multiple roles. For example, a user may have the roles accountant and employee.

  Tenant and hosting administrators have different roles. They can perform different tasks for an environment.

After you create an environment, you can access it by typing a URL in a browser.

The format of the URL depends on how you configured the environment and the type of task that you want to access.

• To access protected tasks from the User Console, use the following URL:

  https://hostname/iam/im/alias

  hostname

  Defines the fully qualified domain name of the SPS system or the IP address of the SPS loadbalancer.

  alias

  Defines the alias of the tenant.

Note: All CA IdentityMinder tasks are protected unless you configure public tasks.

• To access public tasks, which do not require users to provide credentials, use a URL with the following format:

  https://hostname/iam/im/alias_pub/index.jsp?task.tag=tasktag

  hostname

  Defines the fully qualified domain name of the SPS system or the IP address of the SPS loadbalancer.

  alias

  Defines the alias for public tasks.

  task_tag

  Defines the tag for the task to invoke.

  You specify the task tag when you configure a task in the User Console.

  The task tags for the default self-registration and forgotten password reset tasks are SelfRegistration and ForgottenPasswordReset.
