CA RCM Integration

CA RCM is an identity lifecycle management product that enables you to quickly and accurately develop, maintain, and analyze role models. It also provides centralized identity compliance policy controls and automates processes associated with meeting compliance and security demands. Using CA RCM, you can do the following:

• Validate that users have appropriate entitlements
• Ensure that privileges are granted in accordance with security policies
• Monitor the effectiveness of identity management controls
• Understand what roles exist in your organization, and then establish a role model that fits your organization
• Analyze and maintain that role model as business evolves

CA Identity Manager integrates with CA RCM in two ways:

• CA Identity Manager Connector

  The Connector for CA Identity Manager automatically synchronizes the role-based privilege data between CA Identity Manager and CA RCM. By using the connector, you can import data from CA Identity Manager to CA RCM or export data from CA RCM to CA Identity Manager.

  Note: For more information about the CA Identity Manager Connector, see the CA RCM Connector for CA Identity Manager.

• Smart Provisioning

  When CA Identity Manager integrates with CA RCM, you can configure additional functionality that allows you to use role and compliance information, which is available in a role model, to support day-to-day identity management operations. Changes made in CA Identity Manager dynamically update the role model in CA RCM.

Note: For more information about the integration with CA RCM, see the Administration Guide.
