Synchronous Phase

The synchronous phase performs data validation and manipulation. It begins when the user selects a task to perform, or when an anonymous user requests self-registration or a password change. It ends when data validation and manipulation operations are complete, and the task is sent for processing.

Synchronous Phase Processing

When a user logs in, CA IdentityMinder displays the tasks that the user can perform. A task is performed within a task session. A task session contains information such as the time that task execution began, the name and unique identifier of the administrator who is executing the task, and the organization where the task is being executed.

A task session also contains the CA IdentityMinder managed object that is affected by the task. For example, a task session for a Create User task contains a User object consisting of profile information about the new user. In addition, the task session contains lists of any resources (such as roles and groups) that the task’s managed object is associated with.

When the user selects a task to perform, the synchronous phase of task processing begins. The associated task screen is displayed, allowing the user to supply the data required for the task. In the synchronous phase, validation and manipulation of user-supplied data are performed. If validation errors occur, the user receives immediate feedback. The user can then correct the errors and resubmit the task.
