Configuration Guide › CA IdentityMinder Directories › Creating a Directory Using the Directory Configuration Wizard › Connection Details Screen

Connection Details Screen

Use this screen to enter the configuration credentials for your user store. You can also enter the directory search parameters, and add failover connections. After you enter connection information, click Next to select the objects to manage.

Note: The fields that appear on this screen depend on the type of user store, and whether you are creating the connection using the directory configuration wizard or directly importing an XML file.

The following fields are available in this screen:

Name

Specifies the name of the user directory to which you are connecting.

Description

Specifies a description of the user directory.

Host

Specifies the host name for the computer where the user store is located.

Port

Specifies the port for the computer where the user store is located.

User DN

Specifies the user domain name for accessing the LDAP user store.

JDBC Data Source JNDI Name

Specifies the name of an existing JDBC data source that CA IdentityMinder uses to connect to the database.

Username

Specifies the username for accessing the Provisioning Server.

Note: For Provisioning Servers only.

Domain

Specifies the domain name for accessing the Provisioning Server.

Note: For Provisioning Servers only.

Password

Specifies the password for accessing the LDAP user store/Provisioning Server.

Confirm Password

Confirms the password for accessing the LDAP user store/Provisioning Server.

Secure Connection

When selected, forces a Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connection to the LDAP user directory.

Search Root

Specifies the location in an LDAP directory that serves as the starting point for the directory—typically, an organization (o) or organizational unit (ou).

Note: For the LDAP user stores only.

Search Maximum Rows

Specifies the maximum number of results that CA IdentityMinder can return when searching a user directory. When the number of results exceeds the limit, an error is displayed.

Setting maximum rows can override the settings in the LDAP directory that limit search results. When conflicting settings apply, the LDAP server uses the lowest setting.

Search Page Size

Specifies the number of objects that can be returned in a single search. If the number of objects exceeds the page size, CA IdentityMinder performs multiple searches.

Note the following points when specifying Search Page Size:

• To use the Search Page Size option, the user store that CA IdentityMinder manages must support paging. Some user store types may require additional configuration to support paging. For more information, see the Configuration Guide.
• If the user store does not support paging and a value for Search Maximum Rows is specified, CA IdentityMinder uses only the Search Maximum Rows value to control search size.

Search Timeout

Specifies the maximum number of seconds that CA IdentityMinder searches a directory before terminating the search.

Failover Host

Specifies the host name of the system where a redundant user store or an alternate Provisioning Server exists, in case the primary system is unavailable. If multiple servers are listed, CA IdentityMinder attempts to connect to the systems in the same listed order.

Failover Port

Specifies the port of the system where a redundant user store or an alternate Provisioning Server exists, in case the primary system is unavailable. If multiple servers are listed, CA IdentityMinder attempts to connect to the systems in the same listed order.

Add Button

Click to add additional failover host name and port numbers.
