Acquire an Ingres Database Using the Provisioning Manager

You must acquire the Ingres database before you can administer it with CA Identity Manager. To acquire an Ingres database, you must do the following:

From the Endpoint Type task view

1. Register the database as an endpoint in CA Identity Manager.

   Use the Ingres Endpoint property sheet to register an Ingres database. During the registration process, CA Identity Manager checks that the Ingres database you want to administer is accessible.

2. Explore the objects that exist on the database.

   After registering the database in CA Identity Manager, you can explore its contents. Use the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all necessary Ingres objects. You can correlate the accounts with global users at this time, or you can wait to correlate them.

3. Correlate the explored accounts with global users.

   When you correlate accounts, CA Identity Manager creates or links the accounts on an endpoint with global users, as follows:

   1. CA Identity Manager attempts to match the username with each existing global user name. If a match is found, CA Identity Manager associates the Ingres account with the global user. If a match is not found, CA Identity Manager performs the next step.
   2. CA Identity Manager attempts to match the account name with each existing global user's full name. If a match is found, CA Identity Manager associates the Ingres account with the global user. If a match is not found, CA Identity Manager performs the next step.
   3. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is checked, CA Identity Manager creates a new global user and associates the Ingres account with the global user. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is unchecked, then CA Identity Manager performs the next step.
   4. CA Identity Manager associates the Ingres account with the [default user] object.
