Scenario: How to Use CA EEM on CA User Activity Reporting Module for CA IT PAM Authentication

This appendix addresses the scenario where you plan to install CA IT PAM on a Windows server and share the CA EEM on the CA User Activity Reporting Module server for authentication. These procedures supplement those documented in the CA IT Process Automation Installation Guide.

Important! Sharing a CA EEM is not supported in FIPS mode as CA IT PAM is not FIPS compatible. If you upgrade your CA User Activity Reporting Module server to FIPS mode, the integration with CA IT PAM fails.

Note: If you plan to install CA IT PAM on a UNIX server or use LDAP or a local CA EEM for authentication, the documentation in this appendix is not for you. In these instances, you are not sharing the same CA EEM server. CA User Activity Reporting Module r12.1 SP1 can run in FIPS mode and it can communicate with CA IT PAM; however, those communication channels are not FIPS compatible.

For any installation scenario, download the Installation Guide for CA IT Process Automation Manager r2.1 SP03 from Support Online. Also, download Adobe Acrobat reader so you can open the pdf.

The process that lets you use CA EEM on CA User Activity Reporting Module for CA IT PAM authentication involves two manual steps. You copy one file from the Windows server to the appliance and another file from the appliance to the Windows server. These steps are addressed in this appendix. They are not addressed in the CA IT PAM documentation.
