Description of a Database Connection

To describe a database connection, use the Provider element and its subelements in the directory.xml file.

Note: If you are creating a CA IdentityMinder directory, you do not need to provide directory connection information in the directory.xml file. You provide connection information in the CA IdentityMinder Directory wizard in the Management Console.

Modify the Provider element for updates only.
