Issue/Introduction

Issue: 

I installed  first the CM agent for win2012 and the fix, and later the server CA PIM 12.8 on a windows 2012 server and SQL 12.0.2269.

After installation, I noticed that the only endpoint type that is present is "AccessConbtrol for PUPM".

- I checked the JCS logs and the connectors are loded:

loaded connector "Windows NT" [connectorTypeName='Windows NT', connectorTypeLdapObjClass=eTN16Namespace]
loaded connector "SSHDYN" [connectorTypeName='SSH Device', connectorTypeLdapObjClass=null]

- I deleted the ConnectorServer connection from the System menu and registered it again using RegisterComponent utility. The connection is registered and it can communicate with the JCS

- in the jboss logs, I see:

Environment: 

CA PIM 12.8 on a windows 2012 server and SQL 12.0.2269

 

Resolution: 

AccountManager module (AgentManager plugin) was not running on ENTM machine. It was disabled (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\Common\AgentManager\Plugins\AccountManager\OperationMode = 0).
This is a module that is responsible for communication between ENTM , JCS and endpoint. While start up AccountManager sends some events to Server and server created Endpoint types accordingly.
Once the plugin was enabled, Endpoint types were successfully created.

Environment
