About the CA EEM Server

CA User Activity Reporting Module uses the CA Embedded Entitlements Manager (CA EEM) server internally to manage configurations, authorize and authenticate users, coordinate subscription updates to content and binaries, and perform other management functions. In the basic CA User Activity Reporting Module environment, you install CA EEM when you install the management CA User Activity Reporting Module server. From there CA EEM manages the configurations of all of the collection CA User Activity Reporting Module servers and their agents and connectors.

You can also choose to install the CA EEM server on a remote server using the supplied install packages on the Application installation disk, or you can use an existing CA EEM server if you have one in use with other CA Technologies products.

The CA EEM server offers its own web interface. However, almost all of your configuration and maintenance activities take place within the CA User Activity Reporting Module user interface. You should not normally need to interact directly with the embedded CA EEM server functions except for failover configurations and the backup and restore functions that are part of disaster recovery.

Note: The CA User Activity Reporting Module server installation requires that you use the password for the CA EEM default administration account, EiamAdmin, for proper registration of a CA User Activity Reporting Module server. When you install the first management CA User Activity Reporting Module server, you create this new password as part of the installation. When you install subsequent CA User Activity Reporting Module servers using the same application instance name, you automatically create a network environment in which you can later set up federation relationships between the CA User Activity Reporting Module servers.
