Specify Object Information

Object information is specified by supplying values for various parameters.

To specify object information

1. Locate the ImsManagedObject element in the User Object, Organization Object or Group Object section.
2. Supply values for the following parameters:

   name

   Specifies a unique name for the managed object.

   Note: This parameter is required.

   description

   Contains a description of the managed object.

   objectclass

   Specifies the name of the LDAP object class for the object type (user, group, or organization). The object class determines the list of available attributes for an object.

   If attributes from multiple object classes apply to an object type, list the object classes in a comma-delimited list. For example, if an object contains attributes from the person, organizationalperson and inetorgperson object classes, add these object classes as follows:

   objectclass="top,person,organizationalperson,inetorgperson"

   Each LDAP directory includes a set of predefined object classes. Refer to the directory server documentation for information about predefined object classes

   Note: This parameter is required.

   objecttype

   Specifies the type of the managed object. The valid values are as follows:

   • User
   • Organization
   • Group

   Note: This parameter is required.

   maxrows

   Specifies the maximum number of objects that CA Identity Manager can return when searching a user directory. When the number of objects exceeds the limit, an error is displayed.

   By setting a value for the maxrows parameter, you can override the settings in the LDAP directory that limit search results. When conflicting settings apply, the LDAP server uses the lowest setting.

   Note: The maxrows parameter does not limit the number of objects that are displayed on an Identity Manager task screen. To configure display settings, modify the list screen definition in the Identity Manager User Console. For instructions, see the User Console Design Guide.

   maxpagesize

   Specifies the number of objects that can be returned in a single search. If the number of objects exceeds the page size, CA Identity Manager performs multiple searches.

   Note the following when specifying Search Page Size:

   • To use the Search Page Size option, the user store that CA Identity Manager manages must support paging. Some user store types require additional configuration to support paging. For more information, see How to Improve Search Performance.
   • If the user store does not support paging, and a value for maxrows is specified, CA Identity Manager uses only the maxrows value to control search size.

3. Optionally, supply container information.
