Communication between CA Identity Governance and CA Identity Manager

Once you configure integration between CA Identity Manager and CA Identity Governance, the two systems communicate using the following:

• CA Identity Governance Connector for CA Identity Manager

  A special type of connector that automatically synchronizes the privilege data between CA Identity Manager and CA Identity Governance. By using this connector, you can import data from CA Identity Manager to CA Identity Governance or export data from CA Identity Governance to CA Identity Manager.

  Note: For more information about connectors, see the CA Identity Governance Configuration Guide.

• Continuous Update

  This feature allows you to leverage CA Identity Governance capabilities to support day-to-day identity management operations. Any changes made in CA Identity Manager are updated immediately in CA Identity Governance.

• (Optional) Continuous Export

  This feature allows you to send any changes made in CA Identity Governance to CA Identity Manager immediately, instead of doing a full export operation after numerous changes are made to a role model.

Note: All of these communication features update the CA Identity Governance Master configuration.
