Mapping Web and Application Events to Users

Web events are captured by the Internet Explorer client agent. Application events are captured by the Application client agent. The user mapping method is the same in both cases.

Searching by user

For both Web and application events, the relevant client agent maps the user’s Windows logon details onto a CA DataMinder user account and stores that user as the event participant.

Which user policy is applied?

Web activity and application usage can be controlled by, respectively, Web and Application Monitor triggers. The client agents associate the user’s Windows logon credentials with a matching CA DataMinder user account and apply that user’s policy. The synchronization between Windows accounts and CA DataMinder accounts is created in the CMS database during an Account Import job or, less commonly, by using Microsoft Windows user authentication to automatically generate new user accounts.
