    Mainframe LDAP Port

    Mainframe LDAP Suffix

    Click the 'Get Suffixes' button to retrieve a list of valid suffixes configured for this CA LDAP Server operations in im naming mode. (See the chapter titled, "CATSS_DN Backend" in the CA LDAP Server for z/OS Administrator Guide for more information on naming mode.)

    Admin User

    Specifies the CA Top Secret ACID of an administrator to be used from within CA Identity Manager to manage the Top Secret system.

    Password

Note: After you click OK, the Provisioning Server attempts to establish a connection with the CA LDAP Server for z/OS at the IP address and port supplied, as well as validating the Admin user and Password values supplied. An appropriate error message is displayed if this connection fails. A Global User is inserted in the Provisioning Server with Domain Administrator authority using the ID and password supplied. This Global User is used to administer this CA Top Secret endpoint.
