Acquire an HP NonStop SAFEGUARD Machine

You must acquire the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD machine before you can administer it with CA Identity Manager. When acquiring an HP NonStop SAFEGUARD machine, perform the following steps.

From the Endpoint Type task view

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

   Use the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD Endpoint Property Sheet to register an HP NonStop SAFEGUARD machine. During the registration process, CA Identity Manager identifies the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD machine you want to administer and gathers information about it.

2. Explore the objects that exist on the endpoint.

   After registering the machine in CA Identity Manager, you can Explore its contents. Use the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all HP NonStop SAFEGUARD objects. You can Correlate the accounts with global users at this time, or you can wait.

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 account name with each existing global user name. If a match is found, CA Identity Manager associates the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD account with the global user. If a match is not found, CA Identity Manager performs the following 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 HP NonStop SAFEGUARD account with the global user. If a match is not found, CA Identity Manager performs the following step.
   3. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is checked, CA Identity Manager creates a new global user and then associates the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD account with the global user. If the Create Global Users as Needed button is unchecked, CA Identity Manager performs the next step.
   4. CA Identity Manager associates the HP NonStop SAFEGUARD account with the default user object.
