<h1 class="topictitle1">Develop an Enterprise Identity Mapping registry definition naming plan</h1>
<div><p>To use Enterprise Identity Mapping (EIM) to map the user identity in one
user registry to an equivalent user identity in another user registry, both
user registries must be defined to EIM. You must create an EIM <a href="rzalveserverregistry.htm#rzalveserverregistry">registry definition</a> for each application or operating
system user registry that will participate in the EIM domain. User registries
can represent operating system registries such as Resource Access Control
Facility (RACF<sup>®</sup> )
or i5/OS™,
a distributed registry such as Kerberos, or a subset of a system registry
that is used exclusively by an application.</p>
<p>An EIM domain can contain registry definitions for user registries that
exist on any platform. For example, a domain managed by a domain controller
on i5/OS might
contain registry definitions for non-i5/OS platforms (such as an AIX<sup>®</sup> registry).
Although you can define any user registry to an EIM domain, you must define
user registries for those applications and operating systems that are EIM-enabled.</p>
<p>You can name an EIM registry definition anything that you like as long
as the name is unique in the EIM domain For example, you could name the EIM
registry definition based on the name of the system that hosts the user registry.
If this is not sufficient to distinguish the registry definition from similar
definitions, you could use a period (.) or an underscore (_) to add the type
of user registry that you are defining. Regardless of the criteria you choose
to use, you should consider developing a naming convention for your EIM registry
definitions. Doing so ensures that the definition names are consistent throughout
the domain and are adequately descriptive of the type and instance of the
user registry defined and how it is used. For example, you could choose the
name of each registry definition by using a combination of the application
or operating system name that uses the registry and the user registry's physical
location in your enterprise. </p>
<p>An application that is written to use EIM may specify either a source registry
alias or a target registry alias, or aliases for both. When you create EIM
registry definitions you need to check the documentation for your applications
to determine whether you need to specify one or more aliases for registry
definitions. When you assign these aliases to the appropriate registry definitions,
the application can perform an alias lookup to find the EIM registry definition
or definitions that match the aliases in the application. </p>
<p>You may find the following sample portion of the planning work sheet helpful
as a guide to use for recording information about participating user registries.
You can use the actual work sheet to specify a registry definition name for
each user registry, to specify whether it uses an alias, and to describe the
user registry location and use. The installation and configuration documentation
for the application will provide some of the information that you need for
the worksheet. </p>
