Installation with a SiteMinder Policy Server

CA Identity Manager can be integrated with a SiteMinder Policy Server, which provides advanced authentication and protection for your Environment. The following figure is an example of a CA Identity Manager installation with a CA SiteMinder Web Access Manager Policy Server:

• Identity Manager Server

  Executes tasks within CA Identity Manager. The J2EE Identity Manager application includes the Management Console (for configuring environments), and the User Console (for managing an environment).

• Identity Manager Administrative Tools

  Provides tools and samples for configuring and using CA Identity Manager. The tools include configuration files, scripts, utilities, and jar files that you use to compile custom objects with CA Identity Manager APIs and API samples. The Provisioning Manager and WorkPoint Designer are also included with the Administrative Tools.

  The default installation location for most Administrative Tools follows:

  • Windows: C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools
  • UNIX: /opt/CA/IdentityManager/IAM_Suite/Identity_Manager/tools

  However, the default location for Provisioning Manager, which is only installed on Windows, follows:

  • C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\Provisioning Manager
• Identity Manager Database

  Stores data for CA Identity Manager. This database stores information for auditing, task persistence, snapshots (reporting), workflow, and Identity Manager objects. This database must be a relational database.

  Note: For a complete list of supported relational databases, see the CA Identity Manager support matrix on the CA Support Site.

• Identity Manager User Store

  Contains users and their information. This store can be a pre-existing user store already in use by the company. This user store can be LDAP or a relational database.

  Note: For more information about setting up a user store for CA Identity Manager, see the Configuration Guide.

• SiteMinder Web Agent

  Works with the SiteMinder Policy Server to protect the User Console. Installed on the system with the Identity Manager Server.

• SiteMinder Policy Server

  Provides advanced authentication and authorization for CA Identity Manager and facilities such as Password Services, and Single Sign-On.

• Extensions for SiteMinder Policy Server

  Enable a SiteMinder Policy Server to support CA Identity Manager. Install the extensions on each SiteMinder Policy Server system in your CA Identity Manager implementation.
