CA DLP Connector

The CA DLP Connector provides a single point for CA DLP account administration. The connector lets you administer account objects on CA DLP endpoints.

You can use the CA DLP Connector to:

Acquire CA DLP endpoints
Explore CA DLP endpoints for existing accounts
Create, update, or delete CA DLP accounts
Move a CA DLP user to a different location in the CA DLP hierarchy

CA DLP Connector Management

The CA DLP Connector is managed using the CA Identity Manager User Console.

FIPS 140 Configuration

CA IAM Connector Server and CA DLP CMS (Central Management Server) must be in the same FIPS 140 mode before CA IAM Connector Server can use the CA DLP Connector to manage a CA DLP endpoint.

The following table shows the supported configuration modes for CA IAM Connector Server and CA DLP CMS.

CA IAM Connector Server	CA DLP CMS	Supported	Connection Type
FIPS 140 Mode	FIPS 140 Mode	Yes	TLS
Non-FIPS 140 Mode	Non-FIPS 140 Mode	Yes	Unauthenticated SSL
FIPS 140 Mode	Non-FIPS 140 Mode	No	N/A
Non-FIPS 140 mode	FIPS 140 Mode	No	N/A

The CA DLP Connector detects whether CA IAM Connector Server is running in FIPS 140 mode, and configures itself to communicate with the CA DLP endpoint using a FIPS 140 encrypted connection.

If CA IAM Connector Server and CA DLP CMS are both running in FIPS mode, you must install certificates that the CA DLP CMS trusts on CA IAM Connector Server. The certificates are stored in a keystore, copied from the CA DLP CMS.

If CA IAM Connector Server and CA DLP CMS are both running in non-FIPS 140 mode, the CA DLP CMS uses unauthenticated SSL and a CA DLP keystore file is not required.
