Define an Import Connector

A connector retrieves data from one or more target systems. Connectors assemble the privilege model from objects such as accounts, groups, resources, and other system-specific objects. CA GovernanceMinder import connectors import data from endpoint systems. To define an import connector, use the import connector wizard under the connectivity tab of the universe. The wizard guides you through mapping users, roles, resources and accounts to CA GovernanceMinder.

Follow these steps:

1. In the CA GovernanceMinder Portal, Administration, Universes, select the universe that you created to import the data.
2. Select the Connectivity tab.
3. Select Import and click Add Connector.
4. In the Connector wizard, provide values for all mandatory connector settings.

   Note: For specific connectors, additional steps are necessary. For more information, see the Configuration Guide.

5. Click Finish.

   The new import connector is defined in CA GovernanceMinder.

6. (Optional) Select the new connector and click Validate.

   This step confirms that the import connector is defined correctly and is ready to retrieve data from the target system.

   You have validated the connector parameters and configuration.

Note: CA GovernanceMinder automatically defines a matching export connector for every import connector that you define.

Next, complete the universe definition.
