How to Implement Connector Xpress for SAM

To manage endpoints that are not default SAM endpoint type, you can use Connector Xpress to create new endpoint types and manage privileged account passwords. For example, create an endpoint of type SQL when you want to manage privileged account passwords that are located in a Microsoft SQL Server database. The default SAM SQL endpoint type was designed to manage privileged accounts on the SQL Server and not to manage individual tables within a database.

Follow these steps:

1. Install Connector Xpress.

   Note: For more information about how to install Connector Xpress, see the Connector Xpress Guide available in the CA Identity Minder bookshelf on CA Support.

2. Configure the new endpoint type in Connector Xpress.
3. Register the new endpoint type with the Java Connector Server.

   You register the new endpoint type to enable the Java Connector Server to manage the endpoint type.

4. Load the new endpoint type to the Enterprise Management Server.

   You load the endpoint type to make it available in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.

5. Create SAM endpoints for the new endpoint type in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.
6. Discover privileged account passwords on the new endpoints.
