CA Access Control Web Service

Valid on Windows

The Web Service manages the web-based applications that you use to manage an enterprise installation of CA Access Control. The web-based applications are installed on the Application Server. The Application Server is installed by default on the Enterprise Management Server.

The Application Server contains the following web-based applications:

• CA Access Control Enterprise Management—Lets you manage policies across your enterprise and configure UNAB endpoints. CA Access Control Enterprise Management also contains Privileged User Password Management (PUPM), which lets you manage privileged accounts across the enterprise and acts as a password vault for the privileged accounts.
• CA Access Control Endpoint Management—Lets you administer and configure individual CA Access Control endpoints through a central administration server.
• CA Access Control Password Manager—Lets you manage CA Access Control user passwords. You can modify the password of a CA Access Control user or force the user to change their own password when they next log in.

The WebService registry key contains registry entries to let you fine-tune the Web Service. You can find the key in the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\WebService

Note: If you install the Enterprise Management Server on a UNIX computer, the eacws daemon manages the web-based applications.
