Customizing CA ControlMinder

Implementing full‑scale security using CA ControlMinder requires the definition of the security policies you want enforced. The time taken to make these definitions depends on the size of your site and the way you choose to manage security.

For instance, at a university you would probably not define most students to CA ControlMinder; they would get access based solely on resource _default settings. At a bank, however, you would probably define every user to CA ControlMinder and set access lists for every resource to allow specific users access to specific resources. Thus, for the same number of users, implementing CA ControlMinder at the university would take less time than implementing it at a bank.

As security administrator, you must define the objectives of the project. Decisions regarding site policy must be made carefully. CA ControlMinder includes several files that you can customize to help you implement the security policies of your site.
