How to Access an Identity Manager Environment

After you have created an Identity Manager environment, you can access it by typing a URL in a browser.

Note: Enable Javascript in the browser that you use to access the Management Console.

The format of the URL depends on how you configured the environment and the type of task that you want to access.

• To access protected tasks from the User Console, use the following URL:

  http://hostname/iam/im/alias
  

  hostname

  Defines the fully qualified domain name of the server where CA Identity Manager is installed—for example, myserver.mycompany.com

  alias

  Defines the environment’s alias, for example, employees.

  Log into the Identity Manager Environment with a privileged administrator account, such as the System Manager account that you created for the Identity Manager Environment.

  Note: All Identity Manager tasks are protected unless you configure public tasks.

• To access public tasks, which do not require users to provide credentials, use a URL with the following format:

  http://hostname/iam/im/alias/index.jsp?task.tag=tasktag
  

  hostname

  Defines the fully qualified domain name of the server where CA Identity Manager is installed, for example, myserver.mycompany.com.

  alias

  Defines the alias for public tasks, for example, self-service.

  task_tag

  Defines the tag for the task to invoke.

  You specify the task tag when you configure a task in the User Console.

  The task tags for the default self-registration and forgotten password reset tasks are SelfRegistration and ForgottenPasswordReset.

  Note: For more information, see the Administration Guide.
