Integration with the Enterprise User Stores

Typically, you configure CA ControlMinder to use the groups and users that are defined in the enterprise user stores. When you create an access rule that references an enterprise user or group, or when a user logs in to the operating system, CA ControlMinder creates a record in its database for that user or group.

These records have the class XUSER (for enterprise users) or XGROUP (for enterprise groups). They hold the properties that CA ControlMinder requires to enforce access rules. You do not need to manage them, because CA ControlMinder creates them as required.

The only properties of an enterprise user or group that CA ControlMinder fetches from the enterprise user stores are the names and the group membership properties.
