User Stores

CA Identity Manager includes two user stores:

Identity Manager User Store: Typically, this is an existing store that contains the user identities that a company needs to manage. The user store can be an LDAP directory or a relational database.
Provisioning Directory: This is an instance of CA Directory and includes global users, which associate users in the Provisioning Directory with accounts on managed endpoints such as Microsoft Exchange, Active Directory, and Ingres.
