Step 1. Install the CA LDAP Server for z/OS

The CA LDAP Server for z/OS provides the communication mechanism for this CA Identity Manager Connector. This product is a free offering from CA and can be downloaded from support.ca.com. Once downloaded, refer to the CA LDAP Server for z/OS Installation Guide for information and instructions on how to install it.

Note: The following steps are required to migrate from a previous version to r12.5 SP8:

  1. The CA LDAP Server for z/OS must be installed on at least one mainframe system and configured to communicate to every z/OS system being managed by CA Identity Manager or alternatively, you can install it on every z/OS system managed by CA Identity Manager.
  2. The CA LDAP Server(s) must be configured to have an endpoint entry in Provisioning Manager naming mode for each system. For more information on configuring, see the CA LDAP Server for z/OS Administrator Guide.
  3. After upgrading, you must update each endpoint and update the information within the Mainframe LDAP Server section. This information matches up with the IP Address, Port, and suffix of the mainframe LDAP Server.

The existing eTrust_RAC.conf file must be removed from the eTrust_Admin.conf file, or alternatively, remove the contents from the file and make blank.
