Post-Upgrade Steps: z/OS Connectors
At CA Identity Manager r12, the z/OS connectors (CA ACF2, CA Top Secret and RACF) were re-architected for performance reasons to use the CA LDAP Server for z/OS instead of the CA DSI Server on z/OS.
Before trying to configure any z/OS connector you must install the CA LDAP Server for z/OS r12 which can be downloaded from support.ca.com.
If you upgraded CA Identity Manager from before r12, do the following for each endpoint defined to your system:
- Select CA ACF2, CA Top Secret, or RACF Endpoint from Object Type.
- Click the search button. Right click the Endpoint and select properties. Fill in the following information:
In the Mainframe Server Information section:
- IP Address/Machine Name specifies the IP address of the RACF managed system where the CA LDAP Server is configured and running.
- LDAP Port specifies the port number that you specified during the CA LDAP Server for z/OS install. If you are not sure of the Mainframe LDAP Port, see the section "Checking your CA LDAP Server for z/OS Configuration Information."
- LDAP Suffix specifies the suffix to use for this endpoint. This combo box is automatically populated with all valid and available suffixes when you click the "Get Suffixes" button. Suffixes can be retrieved once valid values have been provided for the Mainframe IP Address/Machine Name and Mainframe LDAP Port fields.
