Configuration parameters for system configuration

Use configuration parameters to configure the behavior of the system's basic settings. One Identity Manager provides default settings for different configuration parameters. Check the configuration parameters and modify them as necessary to suit your requirements.

Configuration parameters are defined in the One Identity Manager modules. Each One Identity Manager module can also install configuration parameters. In the Designer, you can find an overview of all configuration parameters in the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

Detailed information about this topic

Editing configuration parameters

The configuration parameters supplied and their permitted values are maintained by the schema installation. You cannot edit the properties of these parameters. You can set or unset them and specify the actual value for the parameter. Other properties of predefined configuration parameters cannot be edited. Changing a configuration parameter can result in calculations for the DBQueue Processor.

TIP: In the Designer, in the hierarchical view of the Configuration Parameter Editor, modified configuration parameters are framed in yellow .

To edit configuration parameters

  1. In the Designer, select the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

  2. Select the configuration parameter in the Configuration Parameter Editor.

  3. In the Configuration parameter view, select the Properties tab.

  4. Customize the following settings.

    • Enabled: Specifies whether the configuration parameter is set. To set the configuration parameter, select the check box. To unset the configuration parameter, deselect the check box.

    • Value: Value of the configuration parameter.

      TIP: You can edit the values of some configuration parameters in the Configuration Parameter Editor in a separate wizard. Click ... next to the input field to start the wizard.

  5. Select the Database > Save to database and click Save.

IMPORTANT: Compile the database if the configuration parameter is preprocessor relevant.

Creating custom configuration parameters

If it is necessary to define other custom configuration parameters, you can add them below the Custom configuration parameter.

To set up a new configuration parameter

  1. In the Designer, select the Base data > General > Configuration parameters category.

  2. Select the Custom configuration parameter and use the Insert context menu to insert a new configuration parameter.

  3. In the Configuration parameter view on the Properties tab, edit the main data of the configuration parameter.

  4. (Optional) If a configuration parameter only permits certain values, specify the permitted values on the Options tab.

    • To create a new option, click Insert.

    • To deleted and option, click Delete.

  5. Select the Database > Save to database and click Save.

Configuration parameter properties

Table 9: Configuration parameter properties
Property Description

Full name

Full name of the configuration parameter. This consists of the name of the parameter and the name of the parent parameter.

Parameters

Technical name of the configuration parameter.

Display name

The display name supplies the caption for the configuration parameter. The display names can be stored as language-dependent.

NOTE: To show the display names in Configuration Parameter Editor, select the Configuration parameter > Show captions menu item.

Configuration parameters that do not have a display name are displayed in brackets (<<>>) in this mode. In addition, a tooltip with the technical name is displayed.

Sort order

The sort order affects how the configuration parameters are ordered in the Configuration Parameter Editor.

NOTE: The sort order is only effective if the display names are displayed in Configuration Parameter Editor.

Value

Value of the configuration parameter. You must enter a value for every configuration parameter. Even parent configuration parameters that serve no purpose other than providing a structure must not be empty, otherwise the child configuration parameters cannot be accessed. Some configuration parameters have several permitted values. These are specified using the configuration parameter options and can be selected here. A description of the selected option is also shown.

TIP: You can edit the values of some configuration parameters in the Configuration Parameter Editor in a separate wizard. Click ... next to the input field to start the wizard.

Description

Description of the configuration parameter. In the Configuration Parameter Editor, click Edit to edit the description.

Enabled

Specifies whether the configuration parameter is set. If this option is set, the configuration parameter is set. If this option is not set, then the whole tree from this point on is considered disabled and the configuration parameter and its child parameters are considered not to exist.

Encrypted

Configuration parameters are marked with this option when they contain encrypted data, for example, passwords. When a new value is entered it is therefore encrypted immediately.

Preprocessor relevant parameter

Specifies whether this is a preprocessor relevant configuration parameter. A preprocessor statement is entered in the associated option field that is used for conditional compiling.

NOTE: When a preprocessor relevant configuration parameter is set it is valid globally across the system. The preprocessor condition does not come into effect until the database has been compiled. Every time a preprocessor relevant configuration parameter or its option is changed the database needs to be recompiled.
