Create a Universe in CA Identity Governance

Similar to an CA Identity Manager environment, a universe is a view into a management workspace that lets CA Identity Governance administrators manage entities such as users, roles, and resources collected from CA Identity Manager. Entity data is stored in the CA Identity Governance database. A universe consists of a specific pair of Master-Model configurations, enabling tracking of differences between the real-world configuration imported from the system (Master) and the desired configuration generated (Model).

To import data from CA Identity Manager, you need a universe in CA Identity Governance to store the data.

You need the following information to create a universe within CA Identity Governance:

• Master configuration file name
• Model configuration file name

  Important! You must provide names of configuration files that do not exist yet. Example configuration file names: CA_IMmaster.cfg, CA_IMmodel.cfg.

• (Optional) Approved Audit Card
• Names of the fields (in the configuration files) that contain the following information:
  • Login
  • Email
  • User manager
  • Role manager
  • Resource manager
• Audit Settings file name

Note: For more information about creating a universe, see the CA Identity Governance Configuration Guide.
