Define an Import Connector to the CA IAM Connector Server

To define an import connector to the CA IAM Connector Server, use the import connector wizard under the connectivity tab of the universe. The wizard guides you through mapping users, roles, and accounts to CA GovernanceMinder.

The following steps are reflected in the connector wizard. Perform these steps to define a connector to the CA IAM Connector Server.

1. (Connection Settings) Provide the connection information to the CA IAM Connector Server.

   Note: The Login Name must be a full DN.

2. (Endpoint) Select the endpoint type and endpoint to connect to.
3. (Endpoint Configuration) Under Endpoint Template, select one of the following options:

   Note: For more information about endpoints, and endpoint objects and attributes, see the Endpoint Guides on CA Support.

   • (Recommended) Use template—loads a default template for the endpoint, mapping endpoint objects to appropriate CA GovernanceMinder resources or roles.
   • Use template from file—allows you to browse and load an existing endpoint template from a file.

     Note: If you want to adjust the endpoint mappings of a loaded template, select the Fine tune the selected endpoint template check box.

   • Use custom configuration—allows you to create your endpoint configuration manually.

     Important! Custom configuration of an endpoint requires advanced knowledge of the endpoint and CA GovernanceMinder, and how each system treats objects. Use the default template if you are not familiar with these concepts.

4. (Optional Enrichment) Provide the supplementary enrichment file and matching information.

   During an import, you can merge supplementary user or resource data with the imported data.

5. Summary

   Review the connector information and click Finish to save the connector.

6. (Optional) Once the connector is saved, you return to the import connector screen. You can now edit the merge type of the connector you defined under the Merge Type column.
