Modify CA Identity Manager Environment Properties

The CA Identity Manager Environment Properties screen in the Management Console lets you do the following tasks:

• View the current settings for the environment.
• Modify the description, base URL, and protected and public aliases.
• Import an existing CA Identity Manager Environment after an upgrade.

  Note: For more information on importing existing CA Identity Manager Environments, see the upgrade section of the Installation Guide.

• Start and stop the Environment
• Access pages for configuring the following tasks:
  • Advanced Settings

    Configures advanced features, including features that are built using the CA Identity Manager APIs.

  • Role and Task Settings

    Import a role definition file that you exported from another CA Identity Manager Environment.

  • System Manager

    Assigns system manager roles.

Follow these steps:

1. If CA Identity Manager uses a cluster of SiteMinder Policy Servers, stop all but one Policy Server.
2. If you have a cluster of CA Identity Manager nodes, stop all but one CA Identity Manager node.
3. Click Environments.

   The CA Identity Manager Environments screen appears with a list of CA Identity Manager Environments.

4. Click the name of the CA Identity Manager Environment to modify.

   The CA Identity Manager Properties screen appears and displays the following properties:

   OID

   Defines a unique identifier for the Environment. CA Identity Manager generates this identifier when you create a CA Identity Manager environment.

   You use the OID when you configure task removal from a task persistence database. See the Installation Guide.

   Name

   Specifies the unique name of the CA Identity Manager Environment.

   Description

   Provides a description of the CA Identity Manager Environment.

   CA Identity Manager Directory

   Specifies the CA Identity Manager directory with which the Environment is associated.

   Enable Verbose Log Output

   Controls how much information CA Identity Manager records and displays in the Environment log when you import an Environment. The Environment log is displayed in the status window in the Management Console when you import an Environment or other object definitions from a file.

   Note: Selecting this check box can significantly impact the performance.

   The verbose log includes validation and deployment messages for each object (task, screen, role and policy) and its attributes in the Environment.

   To see the verbose log, select this check box and save the Environment properties. When you import roles or other settings from a file, the additional information appears in the log.

   Provisioning Server

   Specifies the Provisioning directory that is used as the provisioning user store.

   Click the right arrow button to configure the provisioning directory in the Provisioning Properties page.

   Version

   Defines the version number of CA Identity Manager.

   Base URL

   Specifies the portion of the CA Identity Manager URL that does not include the protected or public alias for the environment.

   CA Identity Manager uses the base URL to form the Redirect URL to point to the Password Services task in the default password policy for the environment.

   Protected Alias

   Defines the base URL name for accessing protected tasks in the User Console for a CA Identity Manager environment.

   Public Alias

   Defines the base URL name for accessing public tasks, such as the self-registration and forgotten password tasks.

   Public User

   Defines the user account that CA Identity Manager uses in place of user-supplied credentials to access public tasks.

   Job Timeout

   Determines the amount of time that CA Identity Manager waits after a task is submitted before displaying a status message.

   This value is set in the User Console page in Advanced Settings.

   Status

   Stops or restarts the CA Identity Manager Environment.

   Migrate Task Persistence Data from CA Identity Manager 8.1

   Migrates data from a CA Identity Manager 8.1 task persistence database to CA Identity Manager 12.6.4 task persistence database.

   For more information, see the Installation Guide.

   Note: The Migrate Task Persistence Data from CA Identity Manager 8.1 button is only visible in environments that were created in previous versions of CA Identity Manager and migrated to CA Identity Manager 12.6.4.

5. Modify the description, base URL, or protected or public alias, as needed.
6. If you modified any Environment properties, restart the CA Identity Manager Environment.
7. If you stopped any Policy Servers in Step 1, restart them now.
