Comparing PMDB to Local Database

Identity Management manages CA Access Control identities in an identity store that can be either a CA Access Control PMDB or a local database. Since Identity Management and CA Access Control both manage users and passwords, it is an architecture decision as to which users are managed by Identity Management and which by CA Access Control. A general guideline is that Identity Management manages a PMDB and the PMDB handles the propagation of all its subscribers.
