Prerequisites to Creating a CA Identity Manager Environment

Before you begin, use the worksheet in the following table to collect the information that you need:

CA Identity Manager Environment Configuration Worksheet

Required Information

Value

A meaningful CA Identity Manager environment name that you choose.

For example: MyEnvironment

 

A base URL which CA Identity Manager uses to form the Redirect URL for the default password policy for the environment.

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org

 

An alias that is added to the URL for accessing protected tasks in the environment.

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org/iam/im/alias

 

An alias that is added to the URL for accessing public tasks, such as self-registration and forgotten password tasks.

For example:

http://server.yourcompany.org/iam/im/public_alias/index.jsp?task.tag=SelfRegistration

Note: When your environment does not include public tasks, you do not need to specify a public alias.

 

If you supplied a public alias, the name of an existing user who serves as the public user. CA Identity Manager uses credentials of the public user in place of user-supplied credentials when accessing public tasks.

 

The name of a CA Identity Manager

 

The name of the provisioning directory, when the CA Identity Manager environment supports provisioning.

 

The unique identifier for an existing user who administers the CA Identity Manager environment.

For example: myadmin

 

The name of the SiteMinder agent or agent group that protects the CA Identity Manager environment if CA Identity Manager integrates with SiteMinder.
