Creating a Customized Module for Updating Endpoint Account Fields in Identity Portal

Products

• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

Overview

In the realm of Identity Management, managing and updating user attributes directly from the Identity Portal can greatly enhance operational efficiency and user experience. A common request from administrators is the ability to customize modules to directly update specific fields in endpoint accounts, such as the PassPharse attribute for RACF (Resource Access Control Facility from IBM) accounts.

Description

The main inquiry is whether there's a method to create a customized module within the Identity Portal that allows for direct updates to any field in the Endpoint account as we do by Identity Manager or Provisioning Manager. Specifically, administrators want the capability to change the RACF endpoint account PassPhrase attribute directly from the Identity Portal.

Environment

Identity Suite Vaap 14.5.1 CHF001
Z/OS RACF as Endpoint of Identity Manager

Cause

Limitation

Upon consultation with the Engineering team, it has been confirmed that the current Identity Portal does not support this functionality inherently. Customization attempts during a Zoom session have also not yielded a solution.

Resolution

Given this limitation, it is recommended to submit an enhancement request for this functionality. This involves formally requesting Product Management to consider this feature for inclusion in a future release of the Identity Portal.
