Prerequisites to Creating an Identity Manager Environment

Before you begin, use the worksheet in the following table to collect the information that you will need:

Identity Manager Environment Configuration Worksheet

Required Information

Value

A meaningful Identity Manager environment name that you choose

For example: MyEnvironment

                             

A base URL, which Identity Manager uses to form the Redirect URL for the default password policy for the environment

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org

 

An alias that is added to the URL for accessing protected tasks in the environment

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org/iam/im/alias

 

An alias that is added to the URL for accessing public tasks, such as self-registration and forgotten password tasks

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org/iam/im/public_alias/index.jsp?task.tag=SelfRegistration

Note: When your environment does not include public tasks, you do not need to specify a public alias.

 

If you supplied a public alias, the name of an existing user who will serve as the public user. Identity Manager uses the public user’s credentials in place of user-supplied credentials when accessing public tasks.

 

The name of an Identity Manager directory

 

The name of the provisioning directory, when the Identity Manager environment supports provisioning

 

The unique identifier for an existing user who will administer the Identity Manager environment

For example: myadmin

 

The name of the SiteMinder agent or agent group that will protect the Identity Manager environment, if CA Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder
