Servers

A CA Identity Manager implementation includes one or more types of servers, depending on the functionality you need.

• Identity Manager Server (required)

  Executes tasks within Identity Manager. The J2EE Identity Manager application includes the Management Console and the User Console.

• Identity Manager Provisioning Server

  Manages accounts on endpoint systems.

  This server is required if the CA Identity Manager installation will support account provisioning.

  Note: You must have the Provisioning Directory installed remotely (or locally for a demonstration environment only) on a CA Directory Server before installing the Provisioning Server.

• SiteMinder Policy Server

  Provides advanced authentication for CA Identity Manager, and provides access to SiteMinder features, such as Password Services and Single Sign-On.

  This server is optional.
