Identity Manager 8.1 - Configuration Guide

One Identity Manager Service configuration files

Configuration One Identity Manager Service and its plug-ins with a configuration file. The file has to reside in the same directory as the file viNetworkService. The configuration file is necessary both for One Identity Manager Service on a windows based operating system and for the Linux daemon.

Two configuration file formats are supported:

• Jobservice.cfg

  Jobservice.cfg is an XML configuration file in our own format. The advantage of this file is that run-time loading is supported.

• viNetworkService.exe.config

  The viNetworkService.exe.config file is the default configuration file for .NET exes and has the specified format.

The system initially searches for the parameter in the configuration file Jobservice.cfg in order to determine the setups. If the parameter is not found, the file viNetwordService.exe is automatically used. Thus the One Identity Manager Service can only work with the configuration file viNetworkService.exe.config.

You handle configuration of the One Identity Manager Service in Designer under Base data | Installation | Job server or with the Job Service Configuration program.

There is one unique section in the file for each of the different modules in One Identity Manager Service.
