How to Integrate an Endpoint

Integrating an endpoint is a multiple step process that involves different types of administrators. As a site administrator, you complete some steps and coordinate with your system administrator to complete other steps.

To integrate an endpoint:

1. If you are managing an on-premise endpoint, configure support at your site.
2. Coordinate with the system administrator for your site who must perform some initial steps.

   These steps are described in the User Console help. The system administrator imports a role definition file for the endpoint, creates a role to manage it, and creates correlation rules. A correlation rule determines how an endpoint account attribute is mapped to a user attribute in the User Console.

3. Your system administrator can deploy a new connector for your site. If you receive a notification, approve the deployment task. You can then use the new connector.
4. Add the endpoint to the environment.

   Once you add the endpoint, the system administrator creates an Explore and Correlate definition that determines which objects CA CloudMinder manages at the endpoint (typically, user objects). The Explore and Correlate definition also defines how accounts on the endpoint are associated with CA CloudMinder users.

   The system administrator uses the Explore and Correlate definition to complete the integration process.

   Once the integration process completes, you can create provisioning roles to manage accounts at the endpoint.
