How to Configure an Endpoint in CA Identity Manager

Configuring an endpoint in the user console populates the Provisioning Directory with accounts and other objects found in the endpoint. The endpoint is any application or computer managed by CA Identity Manager, such as a Microsoft Exchange Server or an Oracle database.

Configuring an endpoint consists of these steps:

  1. Define the endpoint type by importing a role definition file.

    This action makes it possible to manage the endpoint in CA Identity Manager.

  2. Create the endpoint in the User Console.
  3. Explore the contents of the endpoint and correlate its accounts.
