Configuring the User Store

The user store is the repository for global user information. You can configure the user store as soon as you install a CA User Activity Reporting Module server. Only the EiamAdmin user can configure the user store, this is usually done immediately after the first logon.

Configure the user store in one of the following ways:

• Accept the default, Store in internal datastore

  Note: The default option could be displayed as the CA Management Database if, during installation, you pointed to a standalone CA EEM.

• Select Reference from an external directory, which can be an LDAP directory such as Microsoft Active Directory, Sun One, or Novell CA Directory
• Select Reference from CA SiteMinder

If you configure the user store as an external directory, you cannot create new users. You can only add predefined and user defined application groups, or roles, to the read-only global user records. You must add new users in the external user store and then add the CA User Activity Reporting Module permissions to the global user records.
