Role, Task, and Screen Definition File Example

Use the Role Definition Generator to generate the field, screen, tab, task, and role definitions from the presentation metadata you created in Connector Xpress and the files required by the CA IdentityMinder Server to provide account management for a specific endpoint type through the User Console.

Example: Generate role, task, and screen definition files

To convert the presentation metadata to the files required by CA IdentityMinder to provide account management screens for MyJNDIEndpointType, use the Role Definition Generator.

Valid on Windows and UNIX

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to one of the following directories according to your operating system:
   • (Windows) %PROGRAMFILES%\CA\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools\RoleDefinitionGenerator\bin
   • (UNIX) /opt/CA/IAM_Suite/Identity_Manager/tools/RoleDefinitionGenerator/bin
2. Open a command prompt window or a terminal window according to your operating system, then enter one of the following commands:
   • (Windows) RoleDefGenerator.bat -d exampledomain –h im.exmaple.com –u adminusername MyJNDIEndpointType
   • (UNIX) RoleDefGenerator.sh -d exampledomain –h im.exmaple.com –u adminusername MyJNDIEndpointType

   The command generates the MyJNDIEndpointType.jar file.

   The role, task, and screen definitions generated from the metadata include a basic Manager role and an Auditor (read-only) role the endpoint type you specified.

3. Next, deploy the MYJNDI.EndpointType.jar file to the CA IdentityMinder Server.
