How to Create an Identity Manager Directory

The steps to configure CA Identity Manager to manage your directory are as follows:

  1. If you are using SiteMinder, ensure that you have applied the policy store schema prior to creating an Identity Manager Directory.

    Note: For more information on specific policy store schemas and how to apply them, see the Installation Guide.

  2. If you are using SiteMinder, create an ODBC data source for use with SiteMinder.
  3. Create a data source for the user database that CA Identity Manager will manage.
  4. Describe the database to CA Identity Manager by modifying a directory configuration file (directory.xml). For more information, see How to Describe a Database in a Directory Configuration File.
  5. In the Management Console, import the directory configuration file and create the directory.
