Skins

CA IdentityMinder users perform most admin tasks in a user console. CA IdentityMinder includes the following user consoles:

• ca12—The default user console
• ui7—The user console that conforms to the new user interface standard from CA Technologies.
• imcss—An alternate user console that you can customize for your business needs

The console name is added to the URL for each console page. For example, the following URLs are for the Create User task in the ca12 and imcss consoles, respectively:

• http://myserver.ca.com:8080/iam/im/neteauto/ca12/index.jsp?task.tag=CreateUser
• http://myserver.ca.com:8080/iam/im/neteauto/imcss/index.jsp?task.tag=CreateUser

Note: CA IdentityMinder generates these URLs automatically, once an administrator logs in to the user console.

You can change the appearance of a console with skins. A skin is a set of components that you can use to customize the appearance of the user interface (UI) for a given audience.

You can change the following aspects:

• Images
• Colors and fonts
• Page headers and footers

In CA IdentityMinder environment, you can have more than one skin, and you can create different skins for different audiences. For example, employees may see one skin and partners may see another skin.
