email template

An email template is an HTML file used to generate dynamic email messages containing boilerplate text plus case-specific text.

email template object

An email template object is a CA IdentityMinder-provided object that is available to email templates and that allows case-specific text to be inserted into a dynamic email message. For example, in an email notification resulting from an administrator adding a user to an organization, methods in the _eventContextInformation object can insert the administrator’s name, the user’s name, and the organization name.

endpoint

An endpoint is a specific installation of a platform or application, such as Active Directory or Microsoft Exchange, which communicates with CA IdentityMinder to synchronize information. A connector server uses a connector to manage an endpoint.

endpoint account

An endpoint account is a user’s identity in an endpoint managed by the provisioning server. An account provides users with access to additional resources, such as email or databases. CA IdentityMinder administrators can provide users with accounts by assigning a provisioning role.

endpoint Type

An endpoint type is a logical grouping of endpoints. There is one connector for each endpoint type, but there can be multiple endpoint systems for each connector.

event

An event is a CA IdentityMinder-detectable occurrence that CA IdentityMinder generates for a task. Multiple events can be generated for a task. If one or more of a task’s events are mapped to a workflow process, the task is workflow-controlled. CA IdentityMinder cannot complete a workflow-controlled task until workflow processes mapped to the task’s events are completed.

external task

An external task performs a function in a business application. External tasks can pass information to an application to generate user-specific, group‑specific, or organization-specific tasks. For example, an external task may pass information about an organization to an application that generates purchase orders. The administrator performing the task can view open purchase orders for the organization from the CA IdentityMinder User Console.
