Servers

A CA Identity Manager implementation includes one or more types of servers, depending on the functionality you need.

Identity Manager Server (required)

Executes tasks within Identity Manager. The J2EE Identity Manager application includes the Management Console and the User Console.

Identity Manager Provisioning Server

Manages accounts on endpoint systems.

This server is required if the CA Identity Manager installation will support account provisioning.

Note: You must have the Provisioning Directory installed remotely (or locally for a demonstration environment only) on a CA Directory Server before installing the Provisioning Server.

SiteMinder Policy Server

Provides advanced authentication for CA Identity Manager, and provides access to SiteMinder features, such as Password Services and Single Sign-On.

This server is optional.
