Recommendation

Support users and groups from primary stores

Lets you use existing enterprise user stores (primary stores) so that you do not need to duplicate these users in the CA ControlMinder database.

We recommend that you set CA ControlMinder to support primary stores, that is, to support enterprise user stores. If you choose not to support enterprise stores, you will have to duplicate, in the CA ControlMinder database, the accessors you want to protect.

Import Windows users' and groups' data

If you choose to create the accessors you want to protect, it lets you automatically create existing Windows users and groups into the database.

If you select to import Windows users and groups, select one or more of the following options:

  • Import users—import your Windows users to the database.
  • Import groups—import your Windows groups to the database.
  • Connect users to their default groups—automatically add the imported users to the appropriate imported groups in the database.
  • Change owner of imported data—define someone other than you as an owner of the imported data.
    By default, the owner of these records is set to the administrator doing the installation (you).
  • Import from domain—import the accessor data from the specified domain.
