Enhanced CA Identity Manager and CA RCM Integration

The following features are available with the enhanced integration between CA Identity Manager and CA RCM:

• You can import CA Identity Manager users as CA RCM users.
• You can customize the types of endpoint objects to import. If you only want a subset of a particular object type, you can also apply filters to the data that is imported.
• You can customize how attributes are mapped to what CA RCM fields.
• An export from CA RCM now updates data in the Identity Manager object store, and not the Provisioning Server. This allows you to take advantage of the following Identity Manager features:
  • Identity Manager task model
  • Identity Manager transaction logging
  • Identity Manager policy triggers
• A new screen allows you to enable or disable Smart Provisioning functionality or edit global defaults for suggested roles and compliance checking across all tasks.
• Continuous updates verify that changes made in CA Identity Manager are queued up and passed to CA RCM. This feature allows CA RCM to make provisioning role suggestions and validate changes against compliance policies, based on current CA Identity Manager information, without waiting for another import from CA Identity Manager to update the CA RCM data.

These enhancements require CA RCM 12.5 SP4 and CA Identity Manager 12.5 SP8.
