Update a CA IdentityMinder Directory

The purpose of updating a CA IdentityMinder directory is to:

• Add or change managed object definitions, including the attributes of an object.
• Set search parameters
• Change directory properties

Note: CA IdentityMinder does not delete object or attribute definitions.

The directory configuration file can contain only the changes that you want to make. You do not have to include properties or attributes that are already defined.

Note: When you have a cluster of CA IdentityMinder nodes, only one CA IdentityMinder node can be enabled when you make changes in the Management Console. Stop all but one CA IdentityMinder node before you create or modify a CA IdentityMinder directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Export the current CA IdentityMinder directory settings to an XML file.
2. Modify the XML file to reflect your changes.
3. Click Directories.

   The list of CA IdentityMinder directories appears.

4. Click the name of the directory to update.

   Properties for the CA IdentityMinder directory appear.

5. At the bottom of the properties window, click Update.
6. Type the path and file name of the XML file for updating the CA IdentityMinder directory, or browse for the file. Click Finish.

   Status information is displayed in the Directory Configuration Output field.

7. Click Continue.
