Well-Known Attribute %ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTION%

This applies to the following connectors: Windows, Oracle RDBMS, Siebel, UNIX NIS and MS SQL Server.

These endpoint types do not define the endpoint description in the eTDescription attribute. This means that until recently, you could not search on the endpoint description. In addition, the search screen did not display the endpoint description.

You can now use the new well-known attribute %ENDPOINT_DESCRIPTION% for the affected connectors.

The DefaultEndpointSearch role definition has been updated, to allow the Default Endpoint Search screen to use the new well-known attribute. If you are upgrading from an older version of CA IdentityMinder, import this modified screen after upgrading. For more information, see the Environment Changes section in your Upgrade Guide.
