CA Identity Governance Administration Guide › Business Policy Compliance › Additional Weighted Attributes

Additional Weighted Attributes

CA Identity Governance user and resource entities can have an unlimited number of attribute fields. Any of these attribute fields may be used as statistical weighting factors for an audit process.

The default CA Identity Governance audit properties file (default-properties.xml) provides placeholders for 12 attributes and their corresponding weight values. When you import a configuration file that has more than 12 attributes, define the additional attributes in the audit properties file.

Follow these steps:

1. Determine the number of attributes in the configuration file that you imported.
2. In the CA Identity Governance Portal, click Administration, Settings, Audit Property Settings.
3. Click Browse. Navigate to the following folder of the system on which you ran the CA Identity Governance installer:
   • For JBoss/Windows implementation:

     gm_install\rcm-websphere\rcm-conf\audit\parameters\
     

   • For AIX/WebSphere implementation:

     gm_install\Server\eurekify-jboss\rcm-conf\audit\parameters\
     

   Note: gm_install is the CA Identity Governance installation directory.

4. Copy the default-parameters.properties file and rename the copy.
5. Select the copy and click Open.

   The file is saved to the CA Identity Governance database. The file appears in the list of audit properties files.

6. Click the Edit icon for the audit properties file you created.

   Placeholder properties for weighting attributes have the following format:

   evaluation.weight.field.n
   

   Note: n is a number from 1 through 12.

7. Add more placeholder properties to match the number of attributes in the configuration file that you imported. Use the same naming convention, and increase the value of n in each property name.
8. Click Done.

   Changes are saved to the properties file.

9. Go to Administration, Universes.
10. Click on the target universe for the imported configuration.
11. In the Audit Settings File field, specify the audit properties file that you modified and click Save.

    The target universe uses the audit properties file with additional weighting factors.
