Tuning for Provisioning Components

When a CA Identity Manager implementation includes provisioning, use the following optimizations to ensure the best performance:

• Optimize the connection between the CA Identity Manager Server and the Provisioning Server

  CA Identity Manager communicates with the Provisioning Server using the Java IAM (JIAM) API. To improve communication performance, you configure the following:

  • JIAM session pool for multiple connections to the Provisioning Server

    Note: CA recommends setting the initial sessions value to 8, and the maximum sessions to 128.

  • JIAM cache for objects retrieved from the Provisioning Server

  Note: For information on JIAM configuration settings, see the Administration Guide.

• Set account synchronization to occur at the end of a task, instead of the end of each event
• Tune the Provisioning Server

  Note: See the Administration Guide and Installation Guide for more information.
