Example: Single Node Installation

In a single node installation, the Identity Manager Server is installed on one application server node. Also, one copy of each provisioning component is installed, but components can be on different systems. The following figure is an example of a single node CA Identity Manager installation with a Provisioning Server on the same system and a Provisioning Directory on another system:

This example also illustrates choices for platforms. In this case:

• The Identity Manager server is installed on Windows
• The user store is on Sun Java Systems Directory server
• The databases are on Oracle

These platforms are only examples. You can select other platforms instead.

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 Connector Xpress, the Java Connector Server SDK, 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

Report Server

Uses CA Business Intelligence 3.2. You use this server to include data from the Snapshot Database, which contains information from the Identity Manager object store and the Identity Manager user store. An example of a Snapshot Report is the User Profile report. You can also create non-snapshot reports, which include data from other data sources, such as the Audit Database.

Identity Manager Databases

Store data for CA Identity Manager. The databases store information for auditing, task persistence, snapshots (reporting), workflow, and Identity Manager objects. Each 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.

Identity Manager Provisioning Server

Manages accounts on endpoint systems. On the same system or another system, you can also install Connector Servers, which manage Java or C++ based connectors to endpoints.

Identity Manager Provisioning Directory

Specifies the Provisioning Directory schema to CA Directory. This schema sets up the Directory System Agents (DSAs) within CA Directory. The Identity Manager user store can also be the Provisioning Directory.

Identity Manager Provisioning Manager

Manages the Provisioning Server through a graphical interface. This tool is used for administrative tasks such as synchronizing accounts with account templates. The Provisioning Manager is installed as part of the Identity Manager Administrative Tools or can be installed separately from those tools.

Note: This application runs on Windows only.
