User, Group, and Organization Managed Object Descriptions

In a CA IdentityMinder, you manage the following types of objects that correspond to entries in a user directory:

Users

Represent users in an enterprise. A user belongs to a single organization.

Groups

Represent associations of users who have something in common.

Organizations

Represent business units. Organizations contain details such as users, groups, and other organizations.

An object description contains the following information:

• Information about the object, such as the LDAP object class and the container in which objects are stored.
• The attributes that store information about an entry. For example, the pager attribute stores a pager number.

Note: A CA IdentityMinder environment supports only one type of user, group, and organization object. For example, all user objects have the same object class.
