CA Identity Manager Configuration Guide › LDAP User Store Management › Directory Configuration File

Directory Configuration File

To describe structure of a user directory to CA Identity Manager, create a directory configuration file.

The directory configuration file contains one or more of the following sections:

CA Identity Manager Directory Information

Contains information about the CA Identity Manager directory.

Note: Do not modify information in this section. CA Identity Manager prompts you to provide this information when you create a CA Identity Manager directory in the Management Console.

Attribute Validation

Defines the validation rules that apply to the CA Identity Manager directory.

Provider Information

Describes the user store that CA Identity Manager manages.

Directory Search Information

Enables you to specify how CA Identity Manager searches the user store.

User Object

Describes how users are stored in the user store and how it is represented in CA Identity Manager.

Group Object

Describes how groups are stored in the user store and how it is represented in CA Identity Manager.

Organization Object

Describes how organizations are stored and how it is represented in CA Identity Manager. Organization object provides details only when the user store includes organizations.

Self-Subscribing Object

Configures support for groups that self-service users can join.

Directory Groups Behavior

Specifies whether the CA Identity Manager directory supports dynamic and nested groups.

To create a directory configuration file, you modify a configuration template.
