Configuration Guide › LDAP User Store Management › Directory Configuration File

Directory Configuration File

To describe a user directory’s structure to CA Identity Manager, you must create a directory configuration file.

The directory configuration file contains one or more of the following sections:

Identity Manager Directory Information

Contains information about the Identity Manager directory that is used by CA Identity Manager.

Note: Do not modify information in this section. CA Identity Manager prompts you to provide this information when you create an Identity Manager directory in the Management Console.

Attribute Validation

Defines the validation rules that apply to the Identity Manager directory.

Provider Information

Describes the user store that CA Identity Manager will manage.

Directory Search Information

Enables you to specify how CA Identity Manager searches the user store.

User Object

Describes how users are stored in the user store and represented in CA Identity Manager.

Group Object

Describes how groups are stored in the user store and represented in CA Identity Manager.

Organization Object

If the user store includes organizations, describes how organizations are stored and represented in CA Identity Manager.

Self-Subscribing Object

Configures support for groups that self-service users can join.

Directory Groups Behavior

Specifies whether the Identity Manager directory supports dynamic and nested groups.

To create a directory configuration file, you modify a configuration template.
