CA Identity Manager Directory Properties Window

General information about a CA Identity Manager directory is presented in the properties window for the directory that you select. The Directory Properties window is divided into the following sections:

Directory Properties

Displays basic properties for the CA Identity Manager directory including the associated Provisioning Domain, if Provisioning is enabled for the Environment.

Managed Objects

Provides descriptions of the type of user store objects that CA Identity Manager manages.

Validation Rule Sets

Lists validation rule sets that apply to the CA Identity Manager directory.

Environments

Lists the environments that are associated with the CA Identity Manager directory. A directory can be associated with multiple CA Identity Manager environments.

To view more information about a CA Identity Manager environment, click the name of the environment.

To modify properties in a CA Identity Manager directory, import a directory configuration file as described in Update a CA Identity Manager Directory.

In addition to viewing properties, you can also perform the following actions:

Update Authentication

Allows administrators to change the directory that CA Identity Manager uses to authenticate Management Console administrators. Administrators can also add additional Management Console administrators in the existing authentication directory.

Note: The Update Authentication options apply only when native CA Identity Manager security protects the Management Console. For information about enabling native security or about using a different security method, see the Configuration Guide.

Export

Exports the directory definition as an XML file. After you export the directory settings, you can modify the XML file and then reimport it to update the directory. You can also import the XML file to another directory to configure the same settings for that directory.

Update

Allows administrators to add or change managed object definitions, such as the attributes of an object, set search parameters, and change directory properties.
