Filter CA ControlMinder Endpoints by Property

Valid on Windows

Symptom:

I installed several Distribution Servers to distribute communication handling with the SAM endpoints. How can I configure the endpoints to communicate with a specific Distribution Server?

Solution:

You can configure each endpoint to communicate with a specific Distribution Server by using the endpoint details option.

Do the following:

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, select Privileged Accounts, Endpoints, Modify Endpoint.
2. Search for the endpoint that you want to modify and select it.

   The general tab opens.

3. Move to the Information tab and specify a unique name in the Department field.
4. Save the settings.
5. On the Distribution Server, stop all CA ControlMinder services.
6. Access the Windows registry and locate the ENDPOINT_DEPARTMENT token in the following path:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\Common\AgentManager\Plugins\AccountManager\QueryFilter
   

7. Set the token value to the department name you specified.
8. Start all CA ControlMinder services.
