Import the Directory Definitions

To prepare for importing the environments, the identity administrator imports the directories that the environments reference. Importing the directory definition in CA Identity Manager also adds the directory information to the CA SiteMinder® policy store.

Follow these steps:

1. Ensure CA Identity Manager is running and connected to CA SiteMinder®,
2. Navigate to the CA Identity Manager Management Console.
3. Click Directories and then click Create or Update from XML.
4. Select your directory configuration file (directory.xml). This file is the one that you exported in Export the CA Identity Manager Directories and Environments.
5. Click Next.
6. Click Finish and review the load output. Verify that the directory is present in CA Identity Manager and CA SiteMinder®.
7. Repeat these steps for the Provisioning Store and any remaining directories.
8. Log in to the CA SiteMinder® Administrative UI to validate the creation of the user directories.
