Import Users

You can import users from an external directory into CA EEM for use in CA SOI.

Follow these steps:

1. Open CA EEM as follows:
   • Enter the following URL in your web browser: http://eem_server_name:port_number/spin/eiam/eiam.csp. The default port number for CA EEM is 5250. Refer to the CA EEM section on the Installation Worksheet that you filled out during installation for these values. For more information, see the Implementation Guide.
   • Select Start, Programs, CA, Embedded Entitlements Manager, EEM UI on the CA EEM system.

   The CA EEM login page opens.

2. Select < Global > from the Application drop-down list.
3. Enter the CA EEM Administrator user name (EiamAdmin) and password and click Log In.
4. Click the Configure tab.
5. Select the EEM Server (r8.x) or User Store (r12.x) from the submenu.
6. Click Global Users/Global Groups (r8.x) or Group Configuration (r12.x) in the left pane.
7. Select one of the following options in the right pane:
   • Store in internal datastore
   • Reference from an LDAP Directory (r8.x) or Reference from an external LDAP Directory (r12.x)
   • Reference from CA SiteMinder

   Note: For information about the page fields, see the CA EEM online help.

8. Click Save.

   One of the following icons appears:

   

   Success icon (green circle icon with a white check mark)

   Indicates that both the External directory bind and the External directory data were loaded successfully.

   

   Warning icon (yellow triangle with red exclamation point)

   Indicates that the External directory data is still loading. Allow additional time for the process to complete.

   

   Error icon (red circle with white x)

   Indicates that the External directory bind failed. Check the inputs for each of the parameters and try again.

If you selected to have CA EEM reference an external directory and the operation was successful, the CA EEM integration is complete. You can start adding users to CA SOI.

If you selected to store users in an internal datastore, you now create your users within CA EEM.
