Update a CA Identity Manager Directory

The purpose of updating a CA Identity Manager directory is to:

• Add or change managed object definitions, including the attributes of an object.
• Set search parameters
• Change directory properties

Note: CA Identity Manager does not delete object or attribute definitions.

The directory configuration file can contain only the changes that you want to make. You do not have to include properties or attributes that are already defined.

Note: When you have a cluster of CA Identity Manager nodes, only one CA Identity Manager node can be enabled when you make changes in the Management Console. Stop all but one CA Identity Manager node before you create or modify a CA Identity Manager directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Export the current CA Identity Manager directory settings to an XML file.
2. Modify the XML file to reflect your changes.
3. Click Directories.

   The list of CA Identity Manager directories appears.

4. Click the name of the directory to update.

   Properties for the CA Identity Manager directory appear.

5. At the bottom of the properties window, click Update.
6. Type the path and file name of the XML file for updating the CA Identity Manager directory, or browse for the file. Click Finish.

   Status information is displayed in the Directory Configuration Output field.

7. Click Continue.
