IBM OS/400 Connection Information

The IBM OS/400 endpoint type lets you manage privileged IBM OS/400 managed accounts.

The administrative user that you specify for an IBM OS/400 endpoint must have privileges to:

• View other user accounts
• View its own user account
• View other user account passwords

When you create endpoints of this type, provide the following information so that CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management can connect to the endpoint:

Name

Specifies the name of the endpoint

Important! Endpoint name must match the host name.

User Login

Defines the name of an administrative user of the endpoint. SAM uses this account to perform administrative tasks on the endpoint, for example, to connect to the endpoint, discover accounts, and change passwords.

Note the following points:

If you specify the Advanced option, SAM does not use the User Login account to perform administrative tasks. Instead, SAM uses the specified privileged account to perform administrative tasks on the endpoint.

Password

Defines the password of the administrative user of the endpoint.

Host

Defines the host name of the endpoint.

Note: If CA ControlMinder is installed on the endpoint, we recommend that you specify the CA ControlMinder host name for this attribute. You can use World View to view the CA ControlMinder host name of the endpoint.

Important! Host name must match the endpoint name.

Advanced

Specifies whether you want to use a privileged administrative account to perform administrative tasks on the endpoint, for example, to connect to the endpoint, discover accounts, and change passwords. For example, you can specify a privileged domain account that can perform administrative tasks on multiple endpoints.

If you specify this option, SAM does not use the User Login account to perform administrative tasks.
