Directory Configuration File

To describe structure of a user directory to CA IdentityMinder, create a directory configuration file.

The directory configuration file contains one or more of the following sections:

CA IdentityMinder Directory Information

Contains information about the CA IdentityMinder directory.

Note: Do not modify information in this section. CA IdentityMinder prompts you to provide this information when you create a CA IdentityMinder directory in the Management Console.

Attribute Validation

Defines the validation rules that apply to the CA IdentityMinder directory.

Provider Information

Describes the user store that CA IdentityMinder manages.

Directory Search Information

Enables you to specify how CA IdentityMinder searches the user store.

User Object

Describes how users are stored in the user store and how it is represented in CA IdentityMinder.

Group Object

Describes how groups are stored in the user store and how it is represented in CA IdentityMinder.

Organization Object

Describes how organizations are stored and how it is represented in CA IdentityMinder. Organization object provides details only when the user store includes organizations.

Self-Subscribing Object

Configures support for groups that self-service users can join.

Directory Groups Behavior

Specifies whether the CA IdentityMinder directory supports dynamic and nested groups.

To create a directory configuration file, you modify a configuration template.
