Compliance and Pattern Violations

When CA Identity Manager integrates with CA RCM, Identity Manager administrators can validate proposed changes against a role model in CA RCM before committing changes. Validating changes before they are committed helps companies maintain the role model that they have defined for their operations.

Users can validate proposed changes to provisioning roles (assigning or removing them), and changes to user attributes.

CA Identity Manager performs two types of validations:

• Compliance

  Proposed changes are validated against the CA RCM role model to see if they violate CA RCM Business Policy Rules.

• Pattern

  Proposed changes are compared to the CA RCM role model to see if they cause the subject of the change to become "out of pattern." CA Identity Manager also makes sure that the changes do not significantly alter an established pattern in the role model.

You can configure CA Identity Manager to perform these validations automatically when users perform certain tasks, or allow users to initiate the validation manually.
