Create an Endpoint

Creating endpoint definitions in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management lets you manage endpoints and discover the privileged and service accounts on that endpoint.

Follow these steps:

1. In CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, click Privileged Accounts, Endpoints, Create Endpoint.

   The Create Endpoint: Select Endpoint page appears.

2. (Optional) Select an existing endpoint to create the endpoint as a copy of it, as follows:
   1. Select Create a copy of an object of type Endpoint.
   2. Select an attribute for the search, type in the filter value, and click Search.

      A list of endpoints that match the filter criteria appears.

   3. Select the object that you want to use as a basis for the new endpoint.
3. Click OK.

   The General tab of the Create Endpoint task page appears. If you created the endpoint from an existing object, the dialog fields are prepopulated with the values from the existing object.

4. Complete the fields in the tab. The following fields are not self-explanatory:

   Name

   Defines the logical name of the endpoint.

   Note: This field defines how the name of the endpoint appears in CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management. You specify the connection information when you select the endpoint type.

   Description

   (Optional) Defines the information that you want to record for this endpoint (free text).

   Endpoint Type

   Specifies the type of endpoint where your privileged or service accounts reside.

   Note: When you select the endpoint type, an additional dialog opens that lets you supply the credentials SAM requires to manage privileged accounts on that type of endpoint. The endpoint type that you select affects the connection information that you have to supply.

5. (Optional) Click the Login Applications tab and complete the field in the tab.

   Login Applications

   Specifies the login applications to assign to this endpoint.

   Note: Create a login application before you can assign it to an endpoint. You can assign multiple login applications to the same endpoint.

   Disable Advanced Login

   Specifies to disable the Advanced Login option for this endpoint.

6. (Optional) Click the Information tab and complete the fields in the tab.

   This tab lets you specify endpoint-specific attributes and use the attributes when you define or modify privileged access roles.

   When a member of the access privileged role logs in to CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management, the user gains access to the privileged access accounts according to the attributes defined in the privileged access role.

   Owner

   Specify the name of the endpoint owner.

   Department

   Specify a name of a department.

   Example: Development

   Custom 1...5

   Specify up to five custom endpoint-specific attributes.

   Note: Specify the custom attributes in the privileged access role Members tab, Member Policy section, Member Rule window.

7. Click Submit.

   CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management tries to connect to the endpoint using the credentials you provide. If the connection succeeds, the endpoint is created. Otherwise, you receive a connection error.
