Select Endpoints and Resources

CA Identity Manager interacts with numerous endpoints in the enterprise environment. You define which endpoints you want to include in the scope of the connector, and the relevant user, role, and resource information for each endpoint.

The endpoint selection is stored in an XML file under the installation root directory of the connector.

To select endpoints and resources

1. On the system that hosts the CA RCM Client Tools, browse to the following directory:

   RCM_install\Client Tools\Software\Converters\CA\conf
   

   Note: RCM_install is the CA RCM installation directory.

2. Edit the endpointTypeMapping.xml file. Do one of the following:
   • Define endpoints using the customizable connector template, as follows:
     1. Delete the XML comment signifiers <!-- and --> to activate the endpointtype element corresponding to the endpoint you want to include.

        Note: To create an entirely new endpointtype element, duplicate an existing

        element.

     2. Edit the XML attributes and child elements to reflect the endpoint type, endpoints, and resources you want to include in the connector.
     3. Repeat the previous process for each endpoint type you want to include in the connector.
   • Use predefined endpoint handlers by deleting the XML comment signifiers <!-- and --> to activate the endpointtype element corresponding to the type of endpoint you want to include.
3. Save changes to the file.
