Create a Directory for CA Directory

A directory provides information about a user directory that CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management manages. You configure the CA Directory settings after you install CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management.

Important! If the UID attribute in the directory does not contain a value, you must edit the SAM_CA_Directory.xml file before you create the directory. For example:

<ImsManagedObjectAttr physicalname="uid" displayname="User ID" description="User ID" valuetype="String" required="true" multivalued="false" wellknown="%USER_ID%" maxlength="0" permission="WRITEONCE"/>

Note: The UID attribute must have unique user-defined data. Each of the CA Directory attributes is mapped once to the CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management attributes in the CA Directory XML file.

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the following directory, where JBoss_HOME indicates the directory where you installed JBoss:
    JBoss_HOME/server/default/deploy/IdentityMinder.ear/user_console.war/META-INF/
    
  2. Copy the following files file to a temporary directory.
    1. SAM_CA_Directory.xml
    2. ac-RoleDefinitions_CADir_EN.xml
    3. ac-environmentSettings.xml
  3. Delete the ac-environment.properties file, if it exists.
  4. Start the JBoss application server.
  5. Open the CA Identity Minder Management Console as follows:
    http://enterprise_host:port/idmmanage
    

    The CA Identity Minder Management Console opens.

  6. Select Directories, New.

    The new directory window opens.

  7. Select Browse and locate the SAM_CA_Directory.xml file. Click Next.
  8. Enter the following details:
  9. Click Next and Finish.

    The new directory is created. You now need to create an environment.
