Reconfiguring the Password Synchronization Component

These are the steps to reconfigure an Identity Manager password synchronization component:

1. Install the Windows NT Connector after installing the CA Identity Manager Windows Connector (Windows NT or Active Directory).
2. Install Windows NT Remote Agent for a Windows NT system. CA Identity Manager Active Directory Services Connector directly manages Active Directory using LDAP.
3. Acquire the Windows directory to create an internal representation of the Windows system in CA Identity Manager.

   Note: Do not explore and correlate the Windows accounts, because they are managed as CA Access Control accounts. Explore and correlate these as CA Access Control accounts.

4. Install the Identity Manager Password Synchronization agent. During the installation process, the Identity Manager Password Synchronization Configuration wizard guides you through the process to set the component as a Windows password interceptor.
5. Install the CA Access Control Connector to manage the CA Access Control accounts.
6. Install CA Access Control on the Windows system if it is not already installed.
7. Acquire the CA Access Control Directory to manage CA Identity Manager.
8. Explore and correlate CA Access Control accounts to global users in CA Identity Manager.
9. Revise the Identity Manager Password Synchronization Configuration File to reflect the changes from Windows to the CA Access Control Connector.
