How to Create a CA Identity Manager Directory

Follow these steps:

  1. If you are using SiteMinder, apply the policy store schema prior creating a CA Identity Manager Directory.

    Note: For more information on specific policy store schemas and how to apply them, see the Installation Guide.

  2. If you are using SiteMinder, create an ODBC data source for use with SiteMinder.
  3. Create a data source for the user database that CA Identity Manager manages.
  4. Describe the database to CA Identity Manager by modifying a directory configuration file (directory.xml). For more information, see How to Describe a Database in a Directory Configuration File.
  5. In the Management Console, import the directory configuration file and create the directory.
