Launch the Directory Configuration Wizard

The Directory Configuration Wizard lets an administrator select an Identity Manager template and modify that template for use in your environment.

To launch the Directory Configuration Wizard

1. From the Management Console, click Directories and select Create from Wizard.

   You are prompted to select a directory configuration file to configure the user store.

2. Click Browse to select the configuration file to configure the user store or Provisioning Server from the following default location and click Next.

   admin_tools\directoryTemplates\directory\
   

   Note: admin_tools specifies the directory where the Administrative Tools are installed and directory specifies the name of the LDAP vendor.

   The Administrative Tools are placed in the following default locations:

   • Windows: C:\Program Files\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools
   • UNIX: /opt/CA/IdentityManager/IAM_Suite/Identity_Manager/tools
3. On the Connection Details screen, specify connection information for the LDAP directory or Provisioning Server, the directory search parameters, and failover connections information and click Next.
4. On the Configure Managed Object screen, specify the objects to configure and click Next. You can select from the following:
   • Configure User Managed Object
   • Configure Group Managed Object
   • Configure Organization Object
   • Show summary and deploy directory

     Note: Show summary and deploy directory should only be chosen once you have finished configuring the directory.

   1. On the Select Attribute screen, view and modify the structural and auxiliary classes as needed and click Next.
   2. On the Select Attributes: Mapping Well-Knowns screen, map the Identity Manager well-known aliases to selected LDAP attributes and click Next.
   3. (Optional) On the Describe User Attributes screen, view and modify the attribute definitions and click Next. You can modify the display name and description.
   4. (Optional) On the User Attribute Details screen, define the metadata for each selected attribute to be managed and click Next.

      The Managed Object Selection Screen appears.

      If you need to configure Groups or Organizations, select the managed object and click Next to walk through Attributes screens for these objects.

5. Select Show summary and deploy directory from the list and click Next.

   The Confirmation Screen Appears.

6. View the directory details.

   If there are any errors, click the Back button to make changes on the appropriate screens. If all changes have been made, or there are no additional changes, click Finish.

   CA Identity Manager validates the configuration and create the directory. You are then taken back to the Directories listing screen where you can view the new directory.
