Acquire an EEM Server Machine

You must acquire the EEM server machine before you can administer it with CA Identity Manager.

From the Endpoint Type task view

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

   Use the EEM Endpoint property sheet to register an EEM server machine. During the registration process, CA Identity Manager identifies the EEM server machine you want to administer and gathers information about it.

   Then choose the application name and specify the name and password for the management account that has been configured on the EEM Backend Server.

2. Explore the accounts that exist on the endpoint.

   After registering the machine in CA Identity Manager, you can explore its accounts. Use the Explore and Correlate Endpoint dialog. The Exploration process finds all EEM accounts. 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 EEM 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 EEM 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 EEM 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 EEM account with the [default user] object.
